Cole Eye Institute - Cleveland Clinic

Institute Overview
At Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Institute, we have assembled a team of the
world’s foremost clinicians and researchers who are committed not only to
delivering the finest healthcare available, but also to improving tomorrow’s
care through innovative basic, clinical and translational research.
We believe that research and patient care are interdependent. Therefore,
we forge synergistic relationships through analytical and integrative
processes, such as surgical outcomes analysis. We are pioneering
treatment protocols for complex vision-threatening disorders through our
clinical trials and aggressive research programs to shorten the gap between
the laboratory discoveries of today and the patient care of tomorrow. Our
goal: Answering tomorrow’s medical problems through today’s laboratory
and research endeavors.
As one of the leading comprehensive eye institutes in the world, we are
able to enhance the lives of our patients and serve our referring physicians
by providing early, accurate diagnosis and excellent, efficient state-ofthe-art
care. Our program consistently ranks amongst the highest in the
U.S.News & World Report annual survey. Our market share represents
one of the highest patient volumes seen in the United States by any eye
institute, providing care and ambulatory encounters more than 150,000
times a year. We treat the full range of complex vision disorders and
conditions, as well as offering routine eye care for all ages.
We have invested capital resources to build and maintain a state-of-the-art
facility, which demonstrates our commitment to putting patients first. We
deliver maximum patient comfort, service and quality. We offer primary,
secondary and tertiary ophthalmologic services such as oncology services
and treatment of melanoma of the eye.
Our Institute is specially designed to enable clinicians to develop
tomorrow’s advances; our facility includes an Experimental Surgery Suite
− one of the few in the country with full operating capacity. Training future
eye specialists is greatly enhanced in the Education Pavilion, with the
James P. Storer Conference Center (designed with tele-video technology),
as well as video rooms, resident carrels and ample conference space.
