Welcome to the Division of Ophthalmology
The Division of Ophthalmology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center is one of the largest in the United States dedicated to the treatment of pediatric eye diseases in infants, children and adolescents. We treat more than 22,000 patients a year referred to us for a variety of eye disorders including amblyopia, retinoblastoma and hereditary retinal disease as well as adults with strabismus.
In addition to serving as the region’s primary pediatric referral center for all significant eye diseases and trauma, the Division of Ophthalmology also features a Pediatric Retina program. The program is the only one in the region and features state of the art testing capability used to diagnose and treat hereditary pediatric diseases.
The pediatric ophthalmologists at Cincinnati Children’s are recognized leaders and instructors in their field, holding faculty positions at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Members of the division are also actively involved in clinical research in the field of visual development.
The division of Pediatric Ophthalmology performs over a 1,000 eye surgeries annually making our providers some the most experienced in the field. Surgeries range from nasal lacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) to eye misalignment to complex eye reconstruction due to eye injury.
The members of the Division of Ophthalmology are dedicated to serving the health care needs of all patients and to providing research and teaching programs that ensure delivery of the highest quality pediatric care to our community, the nation, and the world.
