The Center for Vision Care

The Center for Vision Care is a full service ophthalmology center. It accommodates a resident training facility and a sub-specialty consultation center. It also provides a clinical elective for medical students.

The faculty includes a wide range of specialists. The center incorporates and serves three of the five hospitals operating in the Syracuse metropolitan area: University Hospital (or SUNY Upstate Medical University), Crouse-Irving Memorial Hospital (a private institution), and Veterans Administration Medical Center. Together, these form the primary ophthalmic referral and teaching network for the approximately two million people residing in the Central New York region.

Department of Ophthalmology physicians and faculty members are the ophthalmic tertiary care providers for this region.
