About the Office
Metropolitan Pediatric Ophthalmology is the 1st and only private practice in Prince Georges County devoted to pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus. All ophthalmologists have some training in children’s eye problems, but a pediatric ophthalmologist has had additional training and practice in examining children and caring for their eye problems.
If your primary care doctor suggests that your child have his or her eyes checked, a pediatric ophthalmologist will have the greatest knowledge of the possible conditions and the greatest experience in examining children effectively.
