Dear Patient and Family,

With a mixture of sadness and gratitude, I announce the closing of my practice after 45 wonderful years in Pediatric Ophthalmology and Adult Eye Muscle Specialty. As of August 30, 2024, I will be retiring.

Serving as your eye doctor has been an immense privilege and honor. Over the years, I have had the joy of building relationships with so many of you and being a part of your lives. I am incredibly grateful, humbled, and appreciative that you have allowed me to be part of your life’s journey, just as you have been a part of mine. Each day of my career has been a unique opportunity to touch lives in ways that have brought me immense joy. I will treasure these memories forever.

I have thoroughly enjoyed living and working in Cincinnati since founding the Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology at Children’s Hospital in July 1979. However, I am now an empty nester. My wife Barbara (who you may know as my "Do-Everything" office manager) and I have two sons and six grandchildren, all of whom reside in
Florida. We are looking forward to moving there and spending much more time with our family.

As my practice closes, I understand the importance of finding a new pediatric ophthalmologist. While it will be up to you to connect with a provider of your choice, I can recommend the following options:

Double Vision

Dr. Burke is one of Cincinnati’s most trusted resources concerning Double Vision.

What is double vision?

Diplopia, the medical term for double vision, is the perception of the same image in two different visual locations. The brain attempts to deal with double vision by attempting to ignore or suppress one of these 2 different images. If this neural adjustment is unsuccessful, closing one eye or covering one side with an eye patch may be necessary.

What is visual confusion?

Visual confusion is the perception of two different images superimposed onto the same space. One of the most common examples of visual confusion that is particularly dangerous and often debilitating occurs when driving. Adults with visual confusion may describe cars going in the opposite direction crossing over the center line and coming straight at them. This visual confusion is caused by the brain shifting the image of the oncoming car and superimposing it on the road straight ahead.

What are the symptoms of strabismus in adults?

Strabismus often causes complaints in adults. They may complain of double vision (diplopia), visual confusion, loss of binocular (3-D) vision, partial loss of peripheral visual field, and awareness of or neck pain caused by a compensatory head position (head tilt or head turn). Many adults project upon themselves a decreased self-image because they are aware of the negative impact that misaligned eyes (strabismus) causes in many social and vocational settings.
