Residency Description:

The specialty program in Pediatric Vision is broad-based, covering all sensory-motor aspects of visual development in infants and children. The primary goal of the pediatric residency program is to provide the resident with proficiency in optometric care and management of the pediatric population. This program includes training in vision screening, visual evaluation, monocular and binocular sensory processes, optics, binocular vision, cognition, and motor development. Residents will gain extensive experience in the diagnosis and management of anomalies of binocular vision and assessment of vision function in the normal and multi-handicapped pediatric population, using electrodiagnostic techniques (visual evoked potentials) and behavioral analysis of visual functions such as preferential looking techniques.
