For Patients & Parents

We believe that early intervention is key in minimizing a child’s future vision challenges and maximizing the potential for healthy vision. Our specific interests in the Vision Development Institute at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles include such disorders as strabismus or eye misalignment and hyperopia or farsightedness, particularly related to early childhood.

As a family member, you play a crucial role in maintaining regular vision checkups and alerting medical professionals to any problems. Our excellent support staff, along with the many resources at Childrens Hospital, will assist you throughout your time with us.

This information will help you to navigate the hospital experience and become more familiar with your child’s condition, so you can make more informed decisions. We understand how difficult it can be to find reliable background on eye disorders. Our website connects you to helpful information on research, as well as to organizations in partnership with the Vision Center who may be able to answer your questions.
