Ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and may perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.

Parker Award at the University of Michigan for her dedication to teaching residents and medical students, and the Phillip Knapp Memorial Teaching Award for excellence in surgical instruction.
