Seeking specialized care for misaligned eyes? Our practice is dedicated to providing the highest level of comprehensive eye care, focusing on general pediatric ophthalmology, adult strabismus, and the expert management of pediatric cataracts. Our team of doctors and staff are committed to effective treatment and exceptional patient care for you and your family.
Comprehensive Vision Care for Children
We understand the importance of clear vision for children’s development. Our practice offers thorough evaluations for all types of vision and eye conditions affecting children. From common refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, for which we prescribe glasses and contact lenses, to the complexities of misaligned eyes (strabismus), we are here to help. Strabismus is a condition we frequently treat, and we utilize various proven methods including eyeglasses, patching therapy, and surgical correction when necessary to align your child’s eyes and ensure proper vision development. While we expertly manage the majority of pediatric eye conditions, we ensure seamless referral to trusted sub-specialists for conditions requiring further specialized care, such as glaucoma, retinal detachment, and retinopathy of prematurity.
Specialized Treatment for Pediatric Cataracts
Cataracts in infants and children require specialized expertise, and our practice is at the forefront of this care. We are pioneers in the field, being among the first to implant foldable intra-ocular lenses in children, which is now a standard of care. Dr. Stager, Jr. is a recognized expert in this area, with extensive publications and lectures worldwide on intra-ocular lenses in pediatric cataract surgery. Our commitment to advancing pediatric cataract treatment is further demonstrated by our participation in national studies over the past decade, ensuring our patients benefit from the latest advancements in care.
Adult Strabismus: Effective Treatment Options
It’s a common misconception that strabismus is only a childhood condition. A significant and growing part of our practice is dedicated to adults with misaligned eyes. Many adults are now discovering that effective and lasting treatments are available, offering benefits that extend far beyond cosmetic improvement. Adult strabismus correction can lead to significant improvements in depth perception and the elimination of double vision, profoundly impacting quality of life. The positive psycho-social, emotional, and interpersonal outcomes for adults undergoing strabismus treatment are well-documented in medical research. With a deep understanding of the latest advancements in adult strabismus care, Dr. Stager, along with his father’s extensive experience, provides unparalleled expertise in treating this condition, helping adults achieve better vision and improved well-being.
