Cibis Eye Care was a pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus practice, a specialty focused on the eyes of children and the alignment of the eye muscles. The practice was led by Gerhard Cibis, MD, and built a reputation around careful evaluation of vision development in young patients. Strabismus, commonly known as crossed eyes, affects how the eyes coordinate and can influence a child's visual experience during critical developmental years, making early and accurate assessment central to the practice's approach.

The Automated Video Vision Development Assessment was one of the technologies used at Cibis Eye Care to help evaluate vision development in children. Video-based assessment tools allow a clinician to observe and record how a child uses the eyes over time, adding objective information to the examination process. Rather than relying on a single snapshot of behavior, such instruments capture patterns of fixation, tracking, and eye movement that support a fuller picture of visual function and help guide clinical decision-making.

Good visual development in childhood depends on timely detection of common diagnoses such as strabismus, amblyopia, and related conditions of the eye and its alignment. Assessment at a pediatric ophthalmology practice typically combines history, examination, and appropriate technology to establish how well the eyes work together. Automated video approaches complemented the hands-on skills of the examining physician, reinforcing a methodical, evidence-informed style of care built around the individual needs of each child and family.

Cibis Eye Care has closed, and the practice's long-standing commitment to pediatric eye care now lives on through its staff, educational resources, and published materials, including a digital textbook and downloadable patient information. Families seeking appointments or assistance with medical records are directed to Silverstein Eye Center, preserving continuity of care for the children and families the practice served. The legacy of the practice remains reflected in continued interest in automated vision assessment and its role in pediatric ophthalmology.
