The mission of the Department of Ophthalmology at Stony Brook University is to improve the vision and prevent blindness in those afflicted with eye diseases. Specifically, our Department aims to:
- Provide the highest quality of multi-specialty ophthalmic care, available to all in an ethical, cost-effective and compassionate manner at our patient-friendly facilities.
- Educate the next generation of physicians in eye diseases and their treatment.
- Conduct research on ocular diseases including both clinical trials and basic research. Our research efforts will ultimately benefit patients on a global scale.
We pledge to our patients and referring health care providers that we will provide state-of-the-art eye care in an efficient, well-coordinated manner paying particular attention to the sensitivity and individual needs of each patient while promptly communicating with their personal health care providers who refer them to us.
