Edward Kuwera, MD

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 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.
