Misericordia Health Centre
Misericordia Health Centre's dynamic Buhler Eye Care Centre - including 14 in-patient beds - is the largest comprehensive surgical and treatment program in Western Canada. There are 26 surgical ophthalmologists on staff, many with subspeciality training, serving Manitoba, Northwestern Ontario, the Territories and Nunavut. Approximately 10,900 eye surgeries are performed annually, including corneal transplants. Nearly 23,000 patients are seen in the ambulatory eye clinics for assessments and treatments.
Complementing our centre of excellence is the new University of Manitoba Ophthalmology Residency Program, including a resident clinic and mock operating room where budding ophthalmologists are trained.
Our ophthalmologists provide 24-hour on-call services. We are also home to the Misericordia Lions Eye Bank medical lab, where eye donations are used for transplantation, research and education. This medical lab is supported by the Lions Eye Bank of Manitoba and Northwest Ontario.
