The Retina and Anterior Segment rotations consist of close interaction with all the attending faculty in the office and operating room. The Pediatric rotation has a new state of the art Resident Clinic. Extensive surgical experience is obtained in strabismus, tear duct procedures, as well as trauma cases. The clinic is resident run while being staffed by the attendings at Children's Hospital. During the Veteran's Administration Hospital rotation, residents get intraocular surgical experience.
Residents first master extracapsular cataract extraction and then proceed to phacoemulsification.
All surgical cases at the Veteran's Administration Hospital are performed by the residents with attending staff. Likewise, all laser procedures are performed by the residents. The Oculoplastics rotation provides surgical experience with common oculoplastic procedures and management in both the operating room and office setting. During the Veteran's Administration rotation, the third year resident performs phacoemulsification, all oculoplastic cases, and retina surgery. Most of the third year is spent in the OSU Clinic.
