Ophthalmology

The Mount Sinai Health System offers winning ophthalmic, eye care services, with a combination of science and personalized care for patients with routine and complex eye conditions. Backed by two storied institutions, the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai (NYEE), the first specialty hospital in America, and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS), we are at the forefront of the development and clinical adoption of innovative ophthalmological technologies that are transforming the field.

NYEE has been a leader in clinical practice, research, and education since its opening in 1820. Today we continue to bring the most advanced surgical and micro-interventional procedures, as well as the latest diagnostic and therapeutic services to our patients, with the goal of delivering sight-saving interventions, safely and quickly. Our commitment to patient care and excellence has been consistently recognized by U.S. News & World Report^®, which ranks NYEE as having one of the nation’s best ophthalmology programs.

At our core is a team of highly respected, board certified and fellowship-trained physicians, who are on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. In addition to treating patients and teaching the next generation of fellows and residents, our award-winning faculty is engaged in research into groundbreaking investigations, such as micro-interventional robotics, imaging, bioinformatics, and artificial intelligence that will revolutionize eye care for years to come.
