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.
