Bascom Palmer Eye Institute is one of only a few centers giving special attention to the diverse
ophthalmic needs of children from infancy through adolescence- a critical time when clear vision
plays an important role in mental, physical and social development. As a major referral center
serving the southeastern United States, Caribbean and South America, we treat approximately
7,000 children annually in our children’s clinic designed specifically for pediatric care.
The clinic’s diagnostic and treatment services encompass common eye disorders of childhood,
such as amblyopia and strabismus, as well as rare disorders affecting infants and children. With
the support of the extensive resources of the entire Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, we specialize in
the blinding and visually-impairing diseases of childhood including congenital cataracts, congenital
glaucoma, retinopathy of prematurity, detached retinas, ocular infections, hereditary disorders
and tumors.
