Ophthalmology

The University of Kansas Health System offers comprehensive ophthalmology care for people with eye conditions. Ophthalmology includes every aspect of vision care, from glasses or contacts to complicated eye diseases. Our board-certified ophthalmologists evaluate and treat multiple conditions, including glaucoma, cataracts and diabetic retinopathy.

At The University of Kansas Health System, our ophthalmologists are board-certified or board eligible. This means they have achieved the highest level of training and education available in their field. Our ophthalmologists offer many services, procedures and clinical trials. They provide routine and ongoing ophthalmology care for conditions like:

This allows physicians to immediately access patient records and test results as well as other relevant images and information that might be helpful in explaining your eye condition.
