Dr. Charlise Gunderson has been practicing ophthalmology for over 10 years and specializes in pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus (misalignment of the eyes). In addition to providing complete eye exams for children from birth to college, she provides both surgical and nonsurgical treatment of many childhood eye problems including strabismus, cataracts, tear duct obstructions and styes. Dr. Gunderson received her undergraduate and graduate degrees at Baylor University, attended medical school at Texas A&M College of Medicine. After completing her residency training in ophthalmology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she was fellowship trained in glaucoma at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston and in pediatric ophthalmology at Houston Eye Associates with Dr. Malcom Mazow.
Dr. Gunderson works closely with Rolando Sauceda, an orthoptist. Orthoptics is the clinical science of ocular motility (eye movement). Together they can help adults with double vision and children with amblyopia (lazy eye). Their team approach brings the most advanced care for the identification and treatment of eye disorders for all ages.
