Cornea, External Disease and Refractive Surgery Specialist

At the University of Kansas in Kansas City, Kansas, we are actively recruiting for a full-time Cornea, External Disease and Refractive Surgery Specialist as an assistant, associate or full professor, depending upon qualifications.

Our department is fully accredited with three residents per year, and we have faculty full-time in cornea, neuro-ophthalmology, pediatric ophthalmology, uveitis, vitreoretinal surgery, comprehensive ophthalmology, optometry and oculofacial plastic and orbital surgery and part-time in glaucoma. The patient need is indeed great, and the growing demands prompt our search.

In 2007, our department relocated to a new space with 17,000 sq. ft. in the City of Prairie Village just south of Kansas City, Kansas.   Recently added is our on-site KU Eye Surgery and Laser Center, with two ORs and room for a third, a laser suite and four clinical lanes. 

We have online, internet-available imaging, including Humphrey automated visual fields, Heidelberg widefield SpectralDomain OCTs, Zeiss Visucam, IOL Master 700 and Cirrus OCT, Espion E2 Electrophysiology System, Heidelberg confocal system for retina and cornea, iDesign, Avedro KXL system, Konan Endothelial Camera, Zeiss Atlas and Galilei S4 corneal topographers, Optos, VISX IntraLase and refractive laser system, and have fully implemented medical records and imaging software (HEYEX 2 and FORUM).  Currently, we have approval pending to continue artificial iris transplantations.

This is an opportunity for clinical or research faculty, as we have growing support from the School of Medicine for both arenas.
