MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR Russell N. Van Gelder Welcome to the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Our mission is simple: we seek to protect and improve vision through the treatment of eye disease. We do so by practicing the state-of-the-art in ophthalmology, extending the state through scientific research, and by sharing our knowledge with our students, our colleagues, and our community. There is a nice article about our new institute in the summer of 2009 issue. You can read it here. Dr. Russell Van Gelder and Dr. Tueng T. Shen lectured in the Winter Quarter 2009 Mini-Medical School on the medicine of vision. Dr. Van Gelder starts by talking about the vision system and why people go blind. Dr. Shen then picks up in part two discussing the global picture and future issues. You can watch these episodes that were recorded by UWTV for the Research Channel. Versions are available for Windows Media Player and Apple QuickTime. Dr. Tueng T. Shen, M.D., Ph.D. discusses the treatment of corneal blindness today and the challenges still faced by many corneal blindness suffers worldwide, in a talk given October 23, 2008 at the University of Washington as a part of the UW School of Medicine “Science in Medicine” series.
