About Me
Dr. Jilwan is a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained pediatric specialist who cares for children with a full range of medical and surgical eye conditions. He partners closely with families to explain diagnoses in clear language, outline practical options, and create treatment plans that support long-term visual development. His training includes residency in ophthalmology followed by dedicated pediatric ophthalmology fellowship at a leading children’s hospital, where he gained extensive experience with strabismus, myopia management, and nursery-based screening and care for retinopathy of prematurity.
In clinic, Dr. Jilwan emphasizes a calm, kid-friendly environment and evidence-based care, whether prescribing glasses, managing amblyopia, or planning strabismus surgery. He welcomes second opinions and coordinates care with pediatricians and subspecialists as needed. Families can expect thoughtful communication, shared decision-making, and follow-up tailored to each child’s needs and goals.
