Welcome to The Eye Birth Defects Institute
At the Eye Birth Defects Institute, we treat
and study a full spectrum of congenital diseases that result
in anatomic abnormalities of the eye and optic nerve, including
optic nerve hypoplasia, the leading cause of blindness in
infants in the United States. We are the leading research
center in the epidemiology and management of this and other
devastating birth defects.
