Anyone with experience with eye disorders?
A friend of mine has a son who is losing his vision due to apparent swelling behind the retina. He lives in Germany and the doctors here are having a hard time finding the cause. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any hospitals/universitiesin the States that we could recommend for him to contact.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

Re: Anyone with experience with eye disorders?
the Wills Eye Institue in Philadelphia is very highly regarded. I used to work at University Physicians Ophtalmology Clinic in Tucson, Arizona, affiliated with the University of Arizona. There is a fantastic pediatric ophthalmologist named Joseph Miller there. The hard thing with things like this, is that usually the Dr. will have to see the patient in order for diagnosis/treatment. The nice thing about university practices is that they are teaching facilities and do a lot of research and have access to all the newest and research technology. You could also look into Vanderbilt University in Nashville. They do a lot of research also and have an eye clinic.
That's the best I can do, hth.
