Welcome to the Queen's Department of Ophthalmology website!
More and more, patient education is being recognized as an essential and often-overlooked component of high quality patient care. If patients are educated about their condition, it is possible for them to make more informed and better decisions about their healthcare.
We encourage you to learn about the eye, common eye diseases and common surgeries an ophthalmologist performs. If you would like more information, we would more than happy to answer your questions at your next appointment.
If you are interested in medical education for areas outside of Ophthalmology, we encourage you to take a look at the website Insider Medicine. Insider Medicine, which was started by Dr. Sharma (a retina specialist at our department) provides daily news related to medicine and health. It is currently available in 4 languages.
We are excited to provide numerous professional 3D animations about Eye Anatomy, Eye Diseases and Ophthalmology Procedures designed for patient education. You can access all of our animations below or at their appropriate locations throughout our website
