To evaluate the status of ophthalmology education in pediatric residency programs in the United States. ⋯ Most pediatric residency program directors want pediatric ophthalmology as part of their formal curricula, but one-fourth of programs are currently either lacking formal ophthalmic education or their directors are dissatisfied with their ophthalmic curricula. Pediatric ophthalmology training programs should be developed to assist those residency programs that are not satisfied with their ophthalmic education. Ophthalmologists are encouraged to participate in these efforts.
