Fellowship History

The fellowship program was instituted in 1988 under the direction of Dr. Kirk Packo. It ran from 1988-1996, with one fellow graduating per year. From 1996 to 2001, the fellowship was voluntarily put on hold. It was reinstituted in 2002, and we have trained highly qualified vitreoretinal specialists who are practicing throughout the United States and Canada.
