Pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus
The Children's Hospital Ophthalmology Foundation provides world class eye care for children as well as for adults with strabismus (misaligned eyes). The Harvard-affiliated faculty doctors are nationally and internationally recognized for their specialized expertise. Patients travel from around the world for care of complex and unusual conditions, and from around the region for care of more routine conditions.

No matter how simple or complex the case, the Foundation's goal is to focus on patient-centered care to provide the best possible experience from the first contact to the final disposition.
