Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus Fellowship

Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus fellows receive broad clinical, surgical and research experience in all areas of pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus. This includes pediatric and adult strabismus, amblyopia, pediatric cataracts, glaucoma, cornea, plastics and lacrimal surgery, pediatric ocular tumors, retinopathy of prematurity, neurofibromatosis and exposure to ophthalmic genetics and electrophysiologic testing.

Our unique training program employs a “Surgeon of the Week” model which insures that our fellows have 1-on-1 teaching and mentoring with attendings. Each of our pediatric ophthalmologists rotate as “Surgeon of the Week” during which that attending is dedicated to teaching and staffing trainees in the clinic, the operating room, and inpatient consults.

Fellows participate in all aspects of the pediatric ophthalmologic examination, evaluation and treatment of patients. Surgical training includes:

• Pediatric cataract extraction
• Intraocular lens implantation
• Pediatric and adult strabismus surgery
• Pediatric oculoplastic eyelid and orbit procedures,
• Nasolacrimal duct procedures
• Pediatric glaucoma surgeries
• Retinoblastoma management
• Retinopathy of prematurity screening and treatment
• Pediatric eye and orbital trauma
