Neuro-Ophthalmological Assessment and Treatment

(732) 321-7010

Patients with neuro-ophthalmological disease report symptoms that relate to the eyes, including unexplained loss of vision, loss of peripheral vision, pupillary abnormalities, double vision, and twitching of facial and eyelid muscles. Because of the difficulty in diagnosing these symptoms, patients may have seen several physicians prior to receiving a clear-cut diagnosis. The neuro-ophthalmologists at the NJ Neuroscience Institute are board-certified and are fellows of the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society (NANOS).
