Message from the Chair

As Chairman of Emory Eye Center, I want to welcome you to our new Web site.

Our faculty represent the top subspecialists in the field of ophthalmology. They provide the highest level of patient care and teach the top young clinicians in the country. Our faculty also share their knowledge through research, publications and training future ophthalmologists. Because we provide the very best in patient care, offer innovative treatment programs, and participate in the most significant clinical trials, we are honored to be among the top ten programs in the country.

We are privileged to be part of the vibrant academic environment of Emory University. Though our central location is on the Emory campus, our clinical reach extends well beyond that:

• Emory University Hospital Midtown
• VA Hospital
• Grady Hospital
• Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
• Wesley Woods Center
• Multiple satellite clinics

Our academic mission extends even farther, and includes significant collaborations with:

• The Center for Disease Control
• Rollins School of Public Health
• Yerkes Primate Research Center
• Georgia Institute of Technology
• The Carter Center
• The world of vision research through our online journal, Molecular Vision

Our environment is friendly, accepting, open-minded and intellectually challenging. Opportunities for collaboration are abundant. We strive to leverage the tremendous resources and knowledge of the campus in order to help people see. The Emory Eye Center: Uncommon knowledge. Uncommon sharing.

We hope you find our Web site useful. Better yet, come and see us in person!

Warmest regards,

Timothy W. Olsen, MD
