- Primary CareFor over twenty years Dr. Wright has enjoyed teaching pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus fellows, with alumni throughout the world. Dr. Wright has authored more than 100 scientific research papers and 7 textbooks on ophthalmology and eye surgery. Such books include his renowned 1200-page text; (Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus), a top selling AAP book (Pediatric Ophthalmology for Primary Care), and Color Atlas of Strabismus Surgery. Of note of interest, the youngest of Dr. Wright’s five children had “crossed eyes” in infancy, of which Dr. Wright performed “early surgery” with great results. Dr. Wright founded the Wright Foundation for Pediatric Ophthalmology, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, whose mission is to reduce blindness and suffering from eye disorders in children through research, education, and clinical care. To this end, Dr. Wright has established a special pediatric eye clinic that serves underprivileged children.

- OphthalmologyPediatric ophthalmology is a medical and surgical specialty that treats children’s eye problems and strabismus (eye muscle problems) in both children and adults. Pediatric eye disorders are usually best treated early. In most cases, delaying treatment can worsen the prognosis. Please see information on pediatric eye disorders listed below...

- Minimally Invasive SurgeryOur center specializes in pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus (eye muscle disorders) in adults and children. We have extensive experience in adults with eye muscle problems including those with double vision. Difficult cases are referred for state-of-the-art eye muscle surgery. Our surgical techniques include minimally invasive surgery, and safety techniques such as use of the Wright hook, antiseptic soaked sutures, and recession with hang back fibrin glue. These new techniques are not routinely preformed elsewhere, but are important as they greatly reduce and almost eliminate the surgical risk to the eye, making strabismus surgery very safe and effective. We strive to provide world-class care with compassion and a personal touch. Here, in a friendly environment, we hope you will feel like part of our family.
