About Me

Dr. Caroline N. DeBenedictis is a fellowship-trained pediatric ophthalmologist and board-certified specialist dedicated to caring for children’s vision from infancy through adulthood. She provides comprehensive medical and surgical care for pediatric cataracts, congenital eye disorders, genetic ocular conditions, and both pediatric and adult strabismus, always tailoring treatment to each patient’s needs. Her approach is guided by the trust families place in her to protect their children’s sight, and she strives to offer the same thorough, thoughtful care she would want for her own family.

Dr. DeBenedictis completed advanced fellowship training in pediatric ophthalmology at Wills Eye Hospital, a world-renowned center for ophthalmologic care and research. This rigorous training built upon her prior education and clinical experience, strengthening her expertise in complex pediatric and adult eye alignment disorders as well as congenital and genetic eye conditions. Her background allows her to blend highly specialized knowledge with a clear, reassuring communication style so families understand each step of their child’s care.

She is committed to ensuring that each patient receives comprehensive care tailored to their individual needs, focusing on both medical and surgical interventions for a wide range of pediatric eye conditions.
