a friend of a relative living outside the states needs to see an eye care specialist. she says that her eye is opaque on the cornea (the epithelial surface of cornea). she says that the surgeons who operated on her told her that her condition would appear a couple years after her retinal detachment surgery and she wouldn't be able to get it corrected in Europe but would need to go to the US and that the procedure would be done via laser (i'm thinking symptomatic retinal holes or wet amd but they tell me about the opaqueness of the epithelial cornea, if it was cataracts then why would she need to come to the states?). the information they've given me is ... questionable and baffling. getting asked for medical advice through a third source and from overseas is frusterating. i've asked to see some papers, at least i would be able to see what the doctors wrote but for some reason that isn't going to happen any time soon. they might as well ask me to build a tokamak reactor with a boy scout manual and a box of girl scout cookies.

ok, so for my question, anyone know of any world renowned eye care clinics that I can reccomend which are located in the states?

UC Berkeley has a very famous optometry school, and Duke University has a great clinic I've heard.
