Neuro-Ophthalmology & Adult Strabismus
Neuro-Ophthalmology & Adult Strabismus
Patients experiencing visual loss or changes unexplained by findings inside the eye are appropriately referred to Neuro-ophthalmology.
Flaum Eye Institute’s Neuro-Ophthalmology Service is staffed by the region’s largest group of fellowship-trained neuro-ophthalmologists who will work with your referring physician to manage your condition or illness. The Service incorporates a variety of diagnostic instrumentation to thoroughly evaluate your condition, including vascular studies, CT, MRI, fluorescein angiography, Humphrey visual field and optical coherence tomography among others.
We also provide adult surgical correction of misaligned eyes (strabismus). This may be the result of stroke, compressive lesions, demyelinating disease, thyroid eye disease, myasthenia gravis, trauma or congenital conditions that were never treated during childhood. Because of their expertise related to double vision, neuro-ophthalmologists are expert at addressing vision issues related to misaligned eyes.
