About Me

Dr. Acil Alasheh is a pediatric ophthalmologist with focused training in strabismus and neuro-ophthalmology. She cares for children with crossed eyes, lazy eye, congenital cataract, and tearing disorders, and also evaluates adults with double vision and complex alignment issues. Patients value her clear explanations and practical guidance for patching, glasses, or surgery, and families appreciate a calm, child-friendly visit that keeps big decisions understandable.

Dr. Alasheh completed medical school at the Jordan University of Science and Technology and advanced ophthalmology training at the University of Jordan before subspecialty fellowships at the Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary, where she trained in Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus and in Neuro-Ophthalmology. Her interests include timely amblyopia treatment, surgical planning for complex strabismus, and multidisciplinary care for neurologic eye disorders. She partners closely with pediatricians, neurologists, and orthoptists so each child has a coordinated plan—from first diagnosis through postoperative care—aimed at developing comfortable, binocular vision for school, sports, and life.
