At the Flaum Eye Institute, we offer the most comprehensive eye disease diagnosis and treatment services in the region. Our team of subspecialists includes renowned clinicians in their respective fields who are committed to providing exceptional care for both routine and complex conditions. Our multidisciplinary approach to patient care is made possible by our location at UR Medicine.

Our facility features an ambulatory surgery center with state-of-the-art surgical equipment on the second floor of Strong Memorial Hospital, right below our faculty practice clinic. We can perform complex procedures that were previously only available at eye care centers hundreds of miles away, saving you time and keeping you close to home. Our diagnostic equipment is top-of-the-line and available for thorough and accurate diagnoses. In some cases, patients may even be referred to our translational research enterprise for specialized imaging.
