- Emergency CareIf there is a chemical injury, immediate irrigation with water is critical. Flush the eyes and face with any available source of water for at least 10-15 minutes. Follow up immediately with a trip to the emergency room or ophthalmologist.
- GlaucomaJust like your traditional health care pediatrician, our physicians and team members specialize in treating children. In fact, we have been the region’s premier pediatric ophthalmologists since 1988, offering comprehensive eye care for premature infants all the way up to young adults. We treat a wide range of ophthalmic conditions in children such as examinations for routine vision problems to complex medical and surgical treatment for double vision and misalignment of the eyes. In addition, we also treat pediatric glaucoma and cataracts, as well as adult strabismus.

- CataractsA cataract is any cloudiness or opacity of the natural lens of the eye, which is normally crystal clear. There are many types of cataracts. Some cataracts are small and do not interfere with vision. Other cataracts are large and cause severe vision loss.
- Eye ExamAn ophthalmologist can detect the need for glasses through a complete eye exam. Typically, the pupils are dilated in order to relax the focusing muscles, so that an accurate measurement can be obtained. By using a special instrument, called a retinoscope, your eye doctor can arrive at an accurate prescription. The ophthalmologist will then advise parents whether there is a need for glasses, or whether the condition can be monitored.
