The Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Service has five full-time faculty physicians: Lindsay M. De Andrade, MD; Arlene V. Drack, MD; Alina V. Dumitrescu, MD, FACS; and Pavlina S. Kemp, MD.

Research and clinical interests among faculty include molecular ophthalmology and genetics of eye disease, web-based vision screening tools and methods of vision screening in infants, strabismus surgical planning, aphakic glaucoma, and structural and functional changes in the optic nerve and retina in amblyopia.

Faculty members regularly present papers and posters and teach courses at national meetings of the AAPOS, ARVO, and AAO, and give invited lectures around the country.
