Pediatric Eye Care for Children of All Ages
Ophthalmology is the study of the human eye and the medical and surgical treatment of its related disorders. Our Pediatric Ophthalmology Program specializes in the treatment of medical and surgical disorders of the eyes in children of all ages. If your child is suffering from a condition of the eye, we’re ready to provide you with the comprehensive care your child deserves.
Some children with complex problems may require the expertise of a variety of pediatric specialists beyond those in our Pediatric Ophthalmology Program. For situations that require a multidisciplinary approach, we offer a wealth of expertise in every pediatric field, including radiology, anesthesiology, endocrinology, neurosurgery, oncology, orthopedics and urology.
