…and that the right diagnosis is critical to your patients’ outcomes.
UW Ocular Pathology Laboratory
Because you know ocular tissue is different…
Sometimes it’s not what it seems
UW Ocular Pathology Laboratory
In a UW-sponsored study, the ocular pathology laboratory was able to correct the diagnosis in 30% of the cases.
An early biopsy submitted by an oculoplastics sub-specialist enabled an early diagnosis from our ocular pathology lab of sebaceous cell carcinoma.

UW Ocular Pathology Laboratory
“I enjoy the attention to detail and the clarification of disease process that the
University of Wisconsin Eye Pathology Laboratory brings to my cases. The prompt
return of an accurate pathologic diagnosis has helped on many cases where the
clinical diagnosis was not obvious. The staff at UW Eye Pathology Lab is always
willing to take the time to personally discuss cases. Their knowledge of clinical
ophthalmology maximizes the usefulness of obtaining pathology consultation for
my diagnostic dilemmas.”
