The Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences Graduate Program offers both thesis-based MSc and PhD degrees, and is coordinated by Dr. Ezekiel Weis, a Professor at the University of Alberta. As a graduate student in our department, you are encouraged to explore new avenues in multi-disciplinary research to improve patient-centered eye care. Research students benefit from full access to cutting-edge research laboratories on campus, as well as our various off campus facilities and teaching sites.<br><br>The Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences offers the MSc and PhD in Medical Sciences (Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences) degrees (see Medical Sciences) either as part of a postgraduate training program for post-MD applicants or as an independent degree program for those proceeding from a BSc. Research may be carried out in a variety of ophthalmology-related disciplines for which staff in the Department have active research programs. Major research initiatives are in the areas of electrophysiology of vision, models of retinal degeneration and therapies, ocular anatomy and ocular genetics. Inquiries should be directed to the Graduate Program Administrator in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences.
