The Israel Englander Department of Ophthalmology is one of only eleven sites in the United States that offers BostonSight® PROSE (prosthetic replacement of the ocular surface ecosystem) in collaboration with Boston Foundation for Sight. BostonSight® PROSE is a treatment to restore the vision of patients with complex corneal disease, enabling them to reclaim their lives.
The orthoptic service at the Israel Englander Department of Ophthalmology specializes in the treatment of patients with disorders of the visual system with an emphasis on binocular vision and eye movements. An orthoptist performs diagnostic tests and measurements on both pediatric and adult patients with disorders of binocular vision visual field defects, and other eye disorders.
Doctors of optometry (ODs) are the primary health care professionals for the eye. Services rendered by an optometrist may include:
The highly skilled physicians at the Israel Englander Department of Ophthalmology diagnose and manage patients with a wide range of ocular inflammatory disorders and ocular complications of systemic inflammatory and infectious diseases.
Conditions treated:
A cornea and external disease specialist is an ophthalmologist who focuses on the cornea (the transparent front structure of the eye), conjunctiva (clear mucous membrane covering the white part of the eye) and the anterior segment (front structures of the eye including the iris and lens).
The Comprehensive Ophthalmology service offers primary eye care including medical and surgical management for all types of conditions of the eye and surrounding structures - both routine and urgent. Our general evaluations screen and treat a wide range of ophthalmic conditions. Routine annual eye and vision exams, prescriptions for eyeglasses, and referrals for contact lens fittings are also offered. Patients who may require subspecialty ophthalmologic care are often referred after evaluation.
The spine specialists of Och Spine at NewYork-Presbyterian at the Weill Cornell Medicine Center for Comprehensive Spine Care offer a complete range of surgical solutions, from the most advanced minimally invasive techniques, including lateral access surgery that dramatically shortens recovery time, to open complex reconstructive spine surgery for scoliosis and other spinal deformities.
Skull base surgery — procedures performed not within in the brain but at the skull base behind the nose – has been transformed over the last decade, with minimally invasive techniques replacing open surgery in many cases. Top surgeons can now remove unimaginably large tumors through the nostrils instead of through incisions, using the natural openings of the face and manipulating tiny endoscopes to navigate to the lesions.
Pediatric Neurosurgery at Weill Cornell Medicine takes a multidisciplinary approach that focuses on the whole child and offers them the best opportunity to enjoy a normal transition from child to adult. The program is nationally recognized for its leadership in the treatment of pediatric brain tumors, congenital malformations, craniofacial disorders, epilepsy, hydrocephalus, vascular abnormalities, and traumatic injuries.
