Neuro-Ophthalmology

Patients with symptoms of visual loss unexplained by findings inside the eye are appropriately referred to neuro-ophthalmology. Symptoms our doctors treat include double vision, unexplained visual loss, headache, and protrusion of the eye. Associated diseases that cause these symptoms may include cranial nerve palsies, visual field loss, nystagmus, optic neuritis and other optic neuropathies, thyroid-associated eye disease, migraine, autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS), and idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

Flaum Eye Institute’s Neuro-Ophthalmology Service is staffed by experienced, skilled neuro-ophthalmologists who will work with your referring physician to manage your condition or illness. The Service incorporates a variety of diagnostic instrumentation thoroughly evaluate your condition, including vascular studies, CT, MRI, and fluorescein angiography, among others.

Surgical expertise includes orbital tumors, socket reconstruction, eyelid repair, and orbital decompression, as well as correction of paralytic strabismus.
