Welcome to the Hamilton Eye
Institute
Hamilton Eye Institute Welcomes UT Medical Students for
Annual "Student Day" Event
February 1, 2010 -- Each year at the Hamilton Eye Institute, the first Monday in February marks an event for which our clinics are opened to the entire second-year class of UT medical students. This “Student Day” is organized annually by William R. Morris,
MD, Associate Professor of Ophthalmology, in cooperation with
Dr. Gail Beeman, Associate Professor of Pediatrics. “Dr. Beeman is the Course Director for
Doctoring: Recognizing Signs and Symptoms, and this event is just one part of that,” said Dr. Morris.
This year’s program began with a welcome address from Barrett G. Haik,
MD, Hamilton Professor and Chair of the UT Department of Ophthalmology, followed by an introductory lecture on “The Eye Examination” by Dr. Morris. The event then moved to the Hamilton Eye Institute clinics. There, students separated into groups of four or five and joined ophthalmologists in examination rooms to receive instruction in ophthalmic evaluation technologies and techniques that every physician should know.
More than thirty UT and regional private ophthalmologists and several ophthalmology residents participated in this year’s event, which was attended by 152 students.

HEI Presents Thirteenth Annual
Clinical Update Meeting for the Comprehensive

December 5, 2009 -- The UT
Department of Ophthalmology proudly hosted the
annual Clinical Update in the Hamilton Eye
Institute's Freeman Auditorium. This year, we welcomed two
highly respected
ophthalmologists as our guest speakers.
The first, Gary W. Abrams, MD, is chair of the Department of Ophthalmology at Wayne
State University and director of the Kresge Eye
Institute in Detroit, Michigan. He served as the I. Lee Arnold, MD, Distinguished
Visiting Professor for this year's event, speaking
on topics
including proliferative vitreoretinopathy and
retinal angiomatous proliferation.
Our other guest, Constance L. Fry, MD,
is an associate professor of ophthalmology at the
University of Texas Health Science Center at San
Antonio. Dr. Fry discussed cranial nerve seven palsy and malignant
neoplasms of the eyelid. We were honored to have both Dr. Abrams and Dr. Fry as
our guests.
Over a dozen other physicians and
scientists representing the UT Department of Ophthalmology faculty also
spoke at the clinical update meeting, sharing the
latest discoveries, techniques, and scientific data
from their areas of specialty with a large audience of
local and regional ophthalmologists.
