The Department is composed of more than 200 full-time faculty members who carry out the majority of the Department’s teaching, research, and patient care activities. An additional 95 faculty members (mostly private practitioners) hold part-time HMS faculty appointments in ophthalmology and participate in various academic endeavors of the Department.

Throughout the years, the Department’s ophthalmic network has grown in both scope and intellect. The Department has recruited some of the finest clinician scientists in ophthalmology, and established key affiliations with many of the world’s leading academic medical schools and research institutions. These affiliations have added significant depth and breadth to the Department’s core capabilities, and have created a rich and robust infrastructure steeped in multidisciplinary investigations, educational collaborations, and clinical enterprises.
