Overview
Jefferson Doyle, M.D., Ph.D., M.H.S. specializes in pediatric ophthalmology and genetic eye diseases and is the recipient of the 2023 Andreas C. Dracopoulos & Daniel Finkelstein, M.D. Rising Professorship in Ophthalmology. His main focus is pediatric and juvenile forms of cataracts, glaucoma, anterior segment dysgenesis, and ectopia lentis. His genetics interests include Marfan syndrome and related connective tissue disorders, complex inherited forms of strabismus in both children and adults (e.g. CFEOM, Duane syndrome), and pediatric retinal dystrophies. Dr. Doyle has published extensively on a number of genetic disorders over the past decade, holds several patents for novel therapeutic approaches to treat them, and has given many national and international talks about them. Dr. Doyle's main research focus is understanding the genetic causes and molecular mechanisms driving genetic diseases, and utilizing that knowledge to develop new therapeutic strategies for them. Over the past decade, he has played a significant role in advancing our understanding of Marfan syndrome and related connective tissue disorders. His work and that of collaborators has led to the discovery of the genetic causes of Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome and Loeys-Dietz like syndrome. His work has also led to a much better understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving Marfan syndrome, and he holds two patents for novel therapeutic strategies to treat it. Part of his current work focuses on the identification of genes that protect people from developing a number of genetic disorders, and leveraging that knowledge to develop new therapies for those diseases. He also has an interest in pediatric myopia, and has ongoing pre-clinical studies seeking to understand the mechanisms that may drive it and the development of novel therapeutic strategies to treat it.

Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
The Johns Hopkins Hospital
Michael X. Repka, M.D., M.B.A., is the David L. Guyton, M.D., and Feduniak Family Professor of Ophthalmology at the Wilmer Eye Institute. He specializes in pediatric ophthalmology, strabismus, retinopathy of prematurity and pediatric neuro-ophthalmology. His clinical practice includes an interest in the management of strabismus and amblyopia. In these areas, he has a special interest in using alternatives to patching for the management of amblyopia and using strabismus surgery, botulinum toxin and adjustable sutures to treat strabismus. He also performs cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation on children with cataracts and has a special interest in pediatric neuro-ophthalmology involving normal and abnormal visual development and the effect of injury and tumor on the visual system of the child. Dr. Repka received his M.D. degree from Thomas Jefferson University and completed his ophthalmology residency at Wills Eye Hospital. He completed fellowships in neuro-ophthalmology and pediatric ophthalmology at the Wilmer Eye Institute and joined the faculty in 1985. In addition to his clinical responsibilities, Dr. Repka is the vice chair for clinical practice at Wilmer. Dr. Repka is the past chairman of the Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group and past president of the Maryland Society of Eye Physicians and Surgeons. He is medical director of Government Affairs of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Dr. Repka is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in the treatment of Esotropia. His top areas of expertise are Strabismus, Brown Syndrome, Amblyopia, Cataract Removal, and Vitrectomy.
The Johns Hopkins Hospital
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.
Eye Doctors Of Washington PC
Gonzalo Vicente is an Ophthalmologist and a Pediatrics provider in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Dr. Vicente is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Esotropia. His top areas of expertise are Strabismus, Esotropia, Amblyopia, and Isolated Duane Retraction Syndrome. Dr. Vicente is currently accepting new patients.
Areas of Expertise
MediFind evaluates expertise by pulling from factors such as number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials, speaking at industry conferences, prescribing and referral patterns, and strength of connections with other experts in their field.
