Ophthalmology
Our experienced specialists in pediatric ophthalmology offer a full range of treatments for children’s eye conditions.
Trusted Experience and Expertise
Children can be afflicted with many eye diseases. They may be born with or develop cataracts, glaucoma, retinal and orbital tumors, or other problems. Our pediatric ophthalmologists can evaluate your child and determine an individualized plan to maximize their vision.
Why Choose a Wills Pediatric Ophthalmologist
Even before a child can speak, a Wills Pediatric Ophthalmologist can tell what a child sees.

ADULT STRABISMUS
Adults may also develop problems with misalignment or have persistent issues from childhood. Our department has the expertise to help evaluate and manage misalignment issues, including the use of prisms, fusional exercises, and, if needed, surgical intervention.

Limit Screen Time
Limit Screen Time
In today's age, marked by ubiquitous video screens on smartphones, computers, and more, children are estimated to spend an average of seven hours daily on entertainment and media.* The American Academy of Ophthalmology and our own children’s eye doctors recommend that parents be aware of the many possible health effects–both within and outside the eye–that can result from too much screen time.
