Clinical Interests:
Strabismus, amblyopia, congenital cataracts, intraocular lens implants, retinoblastoma, pediatric neuro-ophthalmology, retinopathy of prematurity, ptosis, nystagmus, optic nerve disorders, genetic eye disease, ocular tumors, congenital glaucoma, third, fourth, and sixth nerve palsies

Research Interests:
1. Congenital cataracts:  Investigation is underway to determine the efficacy and safety of intraocular lens implants in children.  This includes both primary and secondary implants.
2. Management of complicated strabismus:  New surgical techniques are being evaluated in the treatment of complicated paralytic and restrictive strabismus.  Investigations into the possibility of developing a material which could serve as an "artificial muscle" are in progress.
3. Retinopathy of prematurity:  Efforts are currently underway to study the efficacy and long-term safety of cryotherapy.
4. Retinoblastoma:  Treatment modalities.
5. Botulinum toxin:  Preliminary work is underway to ascertain the usefulness of botulinum toxin in the treatment of congenital esotropia.  This nonsurgical intervention may provide superior results in this disorder.
6. Optic neuritis:  Treatment and prognosis.
