Dean McGee Eye Institute
Vision research at the OU College of Medicine and Dean McGee Eye Institute, the home base of the Department of Ophthalmology, is not only one of the most highly funded research programs at the OU Health Sciences Center, but also one of the most multidisciplinary. Ophthalmology researchers study a wide range of conditions, including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, bacterial and viral eye infections, fungal keratitis, and much more. Collaborations between vision and non-vision researchers are common and include the disciplines of ophthalmology, physiology, pathology, cell biology, microbiology and immunology, pharmaceutical sciences and others.
