Eye Care Resources

Ophthalmology Resources for Families

Whether it’s a congenital eye condition that your child was born with or an eye condition you get later as an adult, our Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology knows that information is one of the best tools we have to improve the quality of life for our patients. We also know that these tools are most effective when the entire family can use them.

In addition to providing top ophthalmological diagnoses and treatment, education and support are important ways to help your family live their healthiest, happiest life. These resources provide information for many things, from childhood blindness to adult strabismus, as well as local support you can find for your child and family.
