在Harminder Dua教授的领导下，学术眼科已将自己确立为国际公认的复杂眼表疾病管理的卓越中心。在全国范围内，毫无疑问，这是该领域的领先中心之一，吸引了来自全国和国际的眼科顾问同事的三级转诊患者。该部门在角膜移植，包括羊膜的眼表重建和干细胞移植等领域拥有出色的往绩。我们的应用实验室研究已经指导眼库的临床实践，羊膜的制备，储存和使用，并通过临床技术的发展（包括细针透热性角膜血管闭塞，化学性烧伤的新分类，连续性结膜结膜上皮切除术）进行指导角膜上皮的酒精分层以及用于诊断和治疗的适应症。这些已被全球多个中心
Lead by Professor Harminder Dua, Academic Ophthalmology has established itself as an internationally recognised centre of excellence in the management of complex ocular surface disorders. Nationally it is without doubt one of the leading centres in this area attracting tertiary referrals of patients from consultant ophthalmologist colleagues from across the country and internationally. The unit boasts an excellent track record in the areas of corneal transplantation, ocular surface reconstruction including amniotic membrane and stem cell transplantation. Our applied laboratory research has already directed clinical practice in the eye banks, amniotic membrane preparation, storage and use, and more through development of clinical techniques namely, fine needle diathermy occlusion of corneal vessels, a new classification of chemical burns, sequential sector conjunctival epitheliectomy and alcohol delamination of the corneal epithelium for diagnostic and therapeutic indications. These have been adopted by several centres across the world. Recently, we have discovered a new layer in the pre-Descemets zone of the deep stroma (Dua's layer) that will have profound effect on lamellar corneal surgery and posterior corneal pathology.
