Ophthalmologist Priscilla Fowler, MD, has accepted membership to serve on the Global Sight Network's medical advisory board, according to a news release.
The Global Sight Network began in 2008 to re-purpose medically eligible corneas not suitable for optical keratoplasty through long-term preservation in glycerol. Their optical uses include cornea patch grafts and glaucoma shunt surgery.
The Global Sight Network was established by the Alabama Eye Bank in partnership with 32 eye banks nationwide.
Dr. Fowler is director of cornea and external disease at the department of ophthalmology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
She received her MD from the University of South Alabama College of Medicine. Dr. Fowler then completed an internship in Baptist Health System, a residency in ophthalmology at University of Alabama at Birmingham and a fellowship in cornea and external disease/refractive surgery at Wills Eye Institute in Philadelphia.
