Adult Strabismus (Eye Alignment) Care
Cincinnati Children’s offers adults the region’s largest program for strabismus care.
Strabismus means the eyes do not line up or work together correctly. Even though this clinic is part of a children’s hospital, our eye doctors are specially trained to treat this condition in adults. All it takes is one meeting at our main ophthalmology clinic and, if surgery is needed, it will be performed by our staff at a different hospital.
Most adult patients are referred by their regular eye doctor (ophthalmologist or optometrist) and will continue care with them after surgery.
What to Expect
For your first visit you will come to the main ophthalmology clinic at Cincinnati Children’s for your consultation.
During this visit, we will:
- Check your vision
- Measure how your eyes move and work together
- Review your overall symptoms
- Talk about treatment options
What to Expect If You Need Surgery
If surgery is recommended:
- It will be performed by our Cincinnati Children’s eye surgeons
- It will take place at another local hospital
- After surgery, you will return to your regular eye doctor for ongoing care
We will share your records and coordinate with your doctor.
