The one-year Glaucoma Fellowship at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, provides broad experience in the management of patients with all types of glaucoma. You acquire expertise in all modalities of therapy, including:

• Medical therapy
• Laser trabeculoplasty
• Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS)
• Trabeculectomy
• Tube shunts
• Cyclodestructive procedures

In addition, you develop proficiency in complex cataract surgery in patients with glaucoma, including small pupils, zonular dehiscence, post-trabeculectomy, and combined surgeries.

As part of Mayo Clinic's large tertiary referral ophthalmology group, you also gain extensive experience with complex glaucoma cases that require co-management with other subspecialties. These include:

• Pediatric glaucoma
• Secondary glaucoma in patients with keratoprosthesis
• Uveitic and steroid-induced glaucoma
• Neovascular glaucoma

Fellows work closely with multiple glaucoma specialists and gain exposure to a broad spectrum of clinical decision-making, surgical approaches, and practice styles. Through Mayo Clinic's multidisciplinary practice, fellows participate in the management of complex glaucoma cases in collaboration with cornea, retina, pediatric ophthalmology, and other ophthalmic subspecialties.

During the Glaucoma Fellowship, you have the opportunity to conduct and participate in cutting-edge research, including clinical trials, clinical outcomes and epidemiology, aqueous humor dynamics, and the development of novel diagnostic instruments.

Graduates benefit from exceptional clinical and surgical volume, exposure to highly complex referral pathology, robust research opportunities, and Mayo Clinic's collaborative practice environment. The fellowship prepares trainees for careers in academic medicine, tertiary referral practice, and comprehensive glaucoma care.
