Practice History: After 29 years on the full time academic faculty of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEEI), Dr. Foster has moved his practice to the private sector. Dr. Foster founded the Immunology and Uveitis Service in 1984 at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, and he will continue his affiliation there and with Harvard Medical School, as Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology. This has been a good and rewarding association for Dr. Foster, where he has been able to fully develop his practice, advance research, teach over 100 fellows and most important do his best to preserve the eyesight of patients with severe inflammatory diseases of the eye, including cicatrizing conjunctivitis, keratitis, scleritis, and Uveitis. His long awaited move will enable him to do many things that he has heretofore not been able to do, very much wants to accomplish, and which he can more readily do in the private sector. The new practice name is Massachusetts Eye Research and Surgery Institution (MERSI).

Dr. Foster continues to teach and to operate at MEEI, and continues as Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School. His research, both basic laboratory research and clinical research, as well as his training of Ocular Immunology fellows continues under the aegis of his new research and education foundation, Ocular Immunology and Uveitis Foundation.

Dr. Foster is just a few blocks from MEEI at 5 Cambridge Center, 8th Floor, Cambridge, MA, 02142, 617-621-6377 or toll free 866-353-6377, having opened a new state-of-the-art facility supporting the research, surgery, and treatment of inflammatory diseases of the eye, including Uveitis. Check out the permanent location, 5 Cambridge Center just over the Longfellow Bridge across the river from Mass Eye and Ear in Kendall Square and only one more T-stop(Kendall Square/MIT) from the MGH/Charles St station on the redline.
