Bruce C Carter, MD

B. Christian Carter, MD, is an ophthalmologist who treats children and adults. Conditions he treats include strabismus, amblyopia, retinopathy of prematurity, nasolacrimal duct disorders, congenital ptosis, congenital cataracts, and congenital glaucoma.

Dr. Carter is a native Virginian and was raised in Charlottesville. He attended Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC, and received his medical degree from the University of Virginia, where he also completed his ophthalmology residency. He completed a fellowship in pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus at Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis, IN.

“I am open with my patients about having dealt with congenital strabismus and amblyopia myself. I have had medical and surgical interventions as a child and adult, and I share my experience with them as both a patient and physician,” he says. “I believe that it provides me with a unique perspective, especially with patients and families who are apprehensive or nervous about what may lay ahead as their condition is treated.”
