This handsome little patient was born with a right upper eyelid that could not stay open, a condition called ptosis. 👶✨

In the preoperative photo, the eyelid blocked his pupil. Notice the flash reflection appears in the left eye but not the right. When the reflex is absent, vision is obstructed. Some children compensate by lifting their chin, but this abnormal head position can affect facial and neck development over time.

Dr. Lichtenstein placed a silicone frontalis suspension sling in about 20 minutes to lift the lid and restore a clear visual axis. The goal of pediatric ptosis repair is to protect vision and eliminate the abnormal head posture.
Function comes first, but the cosmetic outcome matters too, and his tiny incisions are barely visible. 👏

Myopia is more than just needing glasses to see far away! 👓

In this video, Dr. Lichtenstein explains how a child’s eye continues to grow into the teen years. As the eye lengthens, the retina stretches and becomes stressed, which can increase the risk of future eye problems when myopia progresses.

Understanding how eye growth affects the retina helps families see why monitoring and managing myopia early is so important for long-term eye health. 👁️

The tiniest patients deserve the sweetest exams! 🎵👶

Dr. Lichtenstein sang his way through this twin eye check, and they passed with flying colors. Happy babies and healthy eyes make for the best appointments.

We’d call that a perfect duet!

When this sweet patient first visited us, she had an outward eye turn (exotropia). After carefully walking her family through the diagnosis, treatment options, and what to expect, her mom chose surgery as the best path forward.

Just five days after surgery, some redness was still present, completely normal and temporary. What lasts is the confidence and beautiful alignment that follows healing.

Fast forward one year later, and it was so special to see her again, healthy, happy, and thriving (even if getting her to look at the camera was still a challenge 😉).

We’re honored to be part of her journey.

More options. More hope. More ways to protect growing eyes. 💙

Dr. Lichtenstein explains the recent FDA approval of Stellest lenses, a new way to help slow the progression of myopia in children.

While new to the U.S., these lenses have been used worldwide for over a decade. After connecting with colleagues across the globe who love the results, Dr. Lichtenstein is excited to offer Stellest as another trusted option for families.

Sometimes eyes have a mind of their own. 👀

This little one’s eye started turning in July 2025 and became constant by September. A few months later, in December, Dr. Lichtenstein and the OR team spent 15 minutes repositioning the muscles… and just like that... straight eyes and happy smiles! ✨
