Dr. Kuwera is one of very few surgeons in the world who does adjustable surgery for both adults and children, done on the same day. He also has a special interest in children with nystagmus, amblyopia, and cortical visual impairment. Dr. Kuwera graduated Summa Cum Laude from Ross University, where he was a recipient of the Distinguished Scholar Award for academic excellence.

He is passionate about involving patients and families in the management of their health concerns and was awarded the Johns Hopkins Hospital Service Star for these interactions. He is actively involved with several projects, among them: VR/AR devices to diagnose and treat visual disorders, optical enhancements to retinoscopy, Lancaster red-green testing, and methods for enhancing trainee and patient learning. As Wilmer's Co-Division Education Champion in ophthalmic optics, Division Education Champion in pediatrics, and Division Fellowship Program Director, Dr. Kuwera provides instruction on clinical skills, surgical techniques, and review of the basic sciences to fellows, residents, and medical students.

David L. Guyton, M.D., is the Zanvyl Krieger Professor of Ophthalmology. He is internationally known for his contributions, inventions, and teaching in the fields of ophthalmic optics, clinical refraction, potential acuity testing, and ocular motility. His clinical practice in strabismus is heavily surgical, both pediatric and adult, with emphasis on re-operations and cyclovertical surgery, using adjustable sutures. With adults comprising more than 80 percent of his strabismus surgical cases, Dr. Guyton has contributed significantly to our knowledge of strabismus complications from local anesthetics, the “inverted Brown pattern,” the “dragged-fovea diplopia syndrome,” theories of how and why strabismus develops in the first place, and how and why it can change over time. Dr. Guyton is currently developing automated instruments for the vision screening of infants and children. Dr. Guyton is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Esotropia. His top areas of expertise are Strabismus, Brown Syndrome, Amblyopia, and Esotropia.
