    • The Pediatric Ophthalmology Service at the U-M Kellogg Eye Center treats a wide variety of common and complex eye problems in children. We provide eye exams, hospital consultations and long-term care to help children with vision issues. We also treat strabismus in adult patients.

    Our Approach

    Our experts use advanced tests, treatments, physical therapy and monitoring to help improve vision and prevent future problems. Certified orthoptists allow us to offer advanced eye measurement tests and treatments including glasses, prisms, Bangerter Foils, and muscle exercises. 

    The University of Michigan Health team is known for specialized services including adjustable strabismus sutures, Botox and self-closing "no stitch" conjunctival incisions. Our providers also work alongside specialists to combine procedures for better success rates and maximum patient comfort.

    Advanced Testing to Support Your Eye Care

    When you get your eyes checked at the U-M Kellogg Eye Center, you may be sent to specialized testing areas like ophthalmic ultrasound, ophthalmic photography, or diagnostic visual electrophysiology. These advanced tests will provide more detailed information than a regular eye exam to help detect problems early, confirm a diagnosis, and guide your treatment plan.
