Welcome to the Guilbault Girls Show where you will have the opportunity to hear from mothers, fathers, siblings, and individuals themselves about their journey of living with a disability. I am your host Karen Guilbault and today’s guest is Dr. Edward Kuwera.

Dr. Edward Kuwera is an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology and Fellowship
Program Director in the Division of Pediatrics and Adult Strabismus at The Wilmer Eye
Institute of The Johns Hopkins University. His primary focus involves managing complex forms of strabismus, including the surgical management of cyclovertical diplopia, reoperations, and strabismus from thyroid eye disease. He is one of very few surgeons in the world who performs adjustable strabismus surgery for both adults AND children, done on the same day of the procedure.

He is an award-winning educator and a member of the Pediatric Eye Disease
Investigator Group (PEDIG), a multi-center network of providers who implement clinical trials to optimize pediatric eye care. He is the Wilmer residency program’s Co-Division Education Champion in ophthalmic optics, and Division Education Champion in pediatric ophthalmology – providing instruction on clinical skills, surgical techniques,
and review of the basic sciences.

Dr. Kuwera has expertise and interest in other areas of ophthalmology including
nystagmus, amblyopia, and cortical visual impairment. He is working with a neurologist
and several biomedical engineers on augmented reality and virtual reality technologies
to help better diagnose and treat these problems in the future.
