INTRODUCTION
The members of the Department of Ophthalmology conduct both basic and clinical research. Research activities have been conducted mainly in the laboratories of the Department of Ophthalmology as well as in collaboration with other laboratories of the Faculty of Medicine, Hadassah University Hospital, departments in other hospitals in Israel, and abroad.
The laboratories of our department include:
§ The Visual Functions Laboratory, provides diagnostic services (ERG, VEP, EOG, and psychophysical testing) as well as facilities for basic research.
§ The Ophthalmic Pathology Laboratory provides diagnostic services, as well as services for all the morphological studies that have been carried out in our department, including immunohistochemical studies.
§ The Laboratory of Immuno-Ophthalmology provides research and diagnostic services in inflammatory eye disease.
§ The Molecular Ophthalmology Laboratory has been established as a core for all studies involving molecular techniques, including molecular genetics that are carried out by the researchers of our department.
§ The Laboratory for Laser Research has been restructured and provides services in basic and applied research with femtosecond lasers.
