About Me
Dr. Daniel E. Maidana is a pediatric ophthalmologist who cares for children with a full spectrum of eye conditions, from cataracts and strabismus to pediatric retinal disorders. He serves on the Pediatric Ophthalmology Service and the Pediatric Retina & Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) Service at the University of Illinois, where families value his careful exams, clear communication, and collaborative approach.
Originally trained in Argentina and Spain before advanced work in Chicago and Boston, Dr. Maidana brings an international perspective to complex pediatric eye care. He works closely with families to tailor treatment—medical, optical, or surgical—to each child’s needs and stage of development, with special attention to visual development and long-term outcomes.
