The Wilmer Eye Institute has a world-renowned Retina division, attracting patients from around the globe for its excellent patient care and superstar faculty members to join its ranks. The history of the Division dates back to 1952, when L. Harrell Pierce, M.D., began what was then called the Retina Clinic — one of the first subspecialty clinics at Johns Hopkins.
