Pediatric Ophthalmology and Adult Strabismus Service
We have a variety of services to offer patients. General pediatric eye care involves complete eye exams for newborns and children up to eighteen years of age. The clinic specializes in all diseases where the eyes are not aligned properly - from babies to senior citizens. Our specialty clinics serve rare and unusual children's eye disorders: glaucoma, genetics, neurocutaneous, and neuro-ophthalmology.
