RESEARCH INTERESTS | |||
Avery H. Weiss has advanced training and experience in pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus, and refractive surgery. Specialties include the evaluation and treatment of infants and children with amblyopia, strabismus and abnormal eye movements, cataracts, glaucoma, infections, and lacrimal and eyelid abnormalities. Special areas of interest include comprehensive evaluation of infants and children with ocular problems related to birth defects, metabolic genetic, immunologic or neurologic diseases, and underlying prematurity or malignancies. Dr. Weiss has special expertise in the evaluation of the infant who doesn't see and the child who loses vision; treatment of retinoblastoma and orbital tumors; treatment of corneal cysteine accumulation in cystinosis; evaluation of children with congenital or acquired disorders of retinal function; evaluation and treatment of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA)-associated uveitis; cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation in children; and treatment of adult strabismus. Research interests include: Assessment of visual function and development, including the ability to quantitate vision in preverbal infants or nonverbal children using behavioral and visual-evoked potential (VEP) techniques -- Learning more about the development of normal eye movements and the underlying basis of abnormal eye movements and strabismus using eye movement recording techniques and other laboratory measures -- Characterization of the molecular basis of congenital cataracts by analyzing lens proteins -- Assessment of retinal function in infants and children with congenital and acquired retinal disorders using Electroretinograms (ERGs) and other diagnostic techniques. | |||
