Eye Care (Ophthalmology)

Ophthalmology providers at University of Minnesota Health enjoy the use of the state-of-the-art technology for imaging, laser treatment and diagnostics. Our highly skilled surgeons bring training from across the country using safe, modern and effective techniques. Our patients also benefit from the opportunity to participate in clinical trials, where our providers and scientific faculty are collaborating to help present and future patients with the exploration of new and improved treatments for a broad range of conditions.

Our Minnesota Lions Children's Eye Clinic has 5,900 patient visits every year and is one of the largest clinics of its kind in the United States. The university also has a Genetics Eye Clinic for inherited eye problems in children and a Pigment Clinic for patients with albinism. We also offer specialized screening exams and tumor treatment, as well as screening for retinopathy of prematurity. Our Center for Thyroid Eye Disease brings together experts in orbital and oculoplastic surgery, neuro-ophthalmology and adult strabismus who work together in a coordinated clinic. In the operating rooms, we have the most advanced surgical equipment available to perform complex orbital surgeries.
