321 S. Henderson Street Fort Worth, Texas 76104 817.529.9928 | Child Vision Center
What we do
Our vision is to create a world-class diagnostic and research center in order to provide care to all children who need it.
The Child Vision Center will:
- Provide specialized testing for eye-related issues using diagnostic equipment typically found only at a few, large academic institutions.
- Offer such diagnostic testing to all pediatric patients, including those referred from Cook Children’s Medical Center, the Catherine Alexander Eye Clinic, and other health care institutions and eye care professionals. Results and other necessary support will be provided to each patient’s eye care team.
- Integrate the expertise of on-site specialists – experts in cornea and external disease, glaucoma, neuro-ophthalmology, ophthalmic plastic surgery and vitreoretinal diseases – in diagnosing, treating and researching eye-related issues.
- Employ Ph.D. researchers in pursuit of breakthrough discoveries and innovations in pediatric ophthalmology.
- Provide specialized training in Fort Worth to international fellows – ophthalmologists from around the world who seek training to better care for pediatric eye patients in their home countries.
