New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai (NYEE) recently announced the launch of its new Ophthalmic Innovation and Technology Program, which will focus on breakthrough surgical procedures and the development of new technology.
The program will reportedly work to bring in full-time, world-renowned experts to train faculty and residents in the latest and most advanced surgical technologies in ophthalmology.
