Preventing and treating vision loss/ocular problems in children is the highest priority at the Anne F. and Abraham Ratner Children’s Eye Center. Our pediatric ophthalmologists are world-renowned specialists in helping children with eye misalignments (strabismus), nystagmus, congenital diseases like pediatric cataracts and glaucoma, acquired problems from blocked tear ducts to “lazy eye” (amblyopia) as well as trauma. From premature babies to teenagers our team ensures that each child seen at the family oriented Ratner Children’s Eye Center is given the attention and personal medical care they deserve in a child- friendly atmosphere.
Adults with strabismus suffer from an old childhood problem, trauma or a disease causing eye misalignment and require individualized intervention. Recognized worldwide for their teaching & developments in this field, the specialized surgeons at the Ratner Eye Center can help virtually everyone– regardless of age - suffering from various ocular misalignments and their consequences.
The Abraham Ratner Children’s Eye Center was opened to meet the needs of the pediatric population and creates an atmosphere that makes children feel more comfortable from the moment they walk in. The Center’s goal is to make visiting the eye doctor a more pleasant experience for young patients, ensuring more successful eye examinations. Child-friendly, state-of-the-art exam rooms are specially designed to evaluate sight in patients of all ages, even those who are too young to talk and tell the doctor what they see. The Abraham Ratner Children’s Eye Center makes going to the eye doctor a happy experience.
