Practice & Experience
As Loudoun County's first full-time pediatric ophthalmologist, Dr. Butera has spent more than a decade caring for the area's children and their families. Because she treats only pediatric patients, she brings specialist depth rather than general eye care to conditions such as strabismus ("crossed eye"), amblyopia ("lazy eye"), retinopathy of prematurity, and developmental delays in vision, catching problems early when treatment works best. She sees patients across The Eye Center's Sterling, Lansdowne, and Manassas offices and lives in Leesburg with her Belgian sheepdog, Storm.
