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:

Saying goodbye is never easy. I want to thank you once again for the trust you placed in me throughout the years. I wish you all the best for your future health and happiness.

Warm regards,
Miles J. Burke, M.D.

Kids Zone

As Cincinnati’s premier children’s eye specialist, Dr. Burke’s office features a dedicated “KidsZone” that is designed to put your child at ease and ensure your child’s happiness throughout their visit.

The following are some amenities that you can expect to find in Dr. Burke’s “KidsZone”:

  • An almost 600 square feet waiting area which is well lit by natural light from 5 large windows and offers a wonderful combination of space for adults and an activity and entertainment area for children and their families.
  • Plenty of seating with 17 regular chairs and 5 child size chairs.
  • Enclosed theater room (which we like to call the “nook”) with two 5 foot vertically off-set seating benches that is dimly lit so as not to bother those with dilating pupils.
  • A separate table with iPad which is packed with many fun games.
  • Two Nintendo 64 game systems each for one or two players.
  • A touch screen interactive game player with over 140 different games.
  • An old fashion 4’ by 5’ chalk board which provides the children lots of creative options.
  • A magnetic sand table and a 4-sided activity tower which offers lots of fun for the smaller crowd.
  • 40-50 up-to-date magazines are available at all times.
  • Two large boxes of children’s books for kids to browse through.

We know that any visit to the doctor can be scary for children, but as a leader in children’s eye care Dr. Burke takes every step to keep your child at ease.
