.	A Message from Dr. James C. Tsai Chairman, Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science The Yale Eye Center is located on the campus of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. The faculty of physicians and researchers is dedicated to the preservation of sight through excellence in patient care, education, and research. In the Temple Medical Center Building at 40 Temple Street, highly skilled ophthalmologists and staff provide a complete range of services in cornea and external disease, glaucoma and related disorders, neuro-ophthalmology, oculoplastic surgery, ophthalmic pathology, pediatric ophthalmology, uveitis, and medical and surgical management of retina and vitreous disorders. Medical residents and fellows in glaucoma and vitreoretinal surgery study under the close supervision of the senior faculty physicians. In an adjacent building, world-class scientists work in their laboratories to provide new knowledge that will eventually help the clinicians to better serve our patients. Currently, the principal areas of research focus include glaucoma and disorders of the retina and visual system, which together constitute the vast majority of the causes of irreversible blindness. Yale researchers have been successful in acquiring federal grants to support their work, but are also heavily dependent on local sources of financial support, such as the Lions of Connecticut. In this web site, continually updated information will be provided regarding access to clinical care, descriptions of the clinical faculty members, news concerning eye health and medical advances, and ways in which interested individuals can contribute to helping us achieve our goal of preserving sight. We hope you will find the information useful, and we welcome your comments and questions about the Yale Eye Center.
