Taking our patients from infancy to adulthood, we provide all forms of Pediatric eye care at Queens Eye Center.

The Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at New York Hospital Queens presents Eye Center doctors with a large number of infants in need of special care. We often use diagnostic ultrasound to detect congenital eye problems, and we regularly treat tiny "preemies" for "retinopathy of prematurity" (using state-of-the-art laser techniques).

Strabismus ("crossed eyes") is an important entity on any Pediatric Eye Service, and we have a particular interest and expertise in the extraocular muscle surgery that many of these children need. As part of our comprehensive service, we screen large numbers of children for amblyopias ("lazy eye"), and we also perform school vision exams.
