Trusted Experience and Expertise
Wills Eye is home to the top neuro-ophthalmologists and world leaders in the diagnosis and treatment of vision problems related to the nervous system. We evaluate and treat conditions such as optic neuritis, visual field loss, visual disturbances, abnormal eye movement, thyroid eye disease, and myasthenia gravis.
The optic nerve is the means by which the eye and brain communicate. Wills Eye neuro-ophthalmologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions at the intersection of neurology and ophthalmology, including those that affect the nerves and muscles in and around the eye. We also treat autoimmune diseases such as thyroid eye disease (Graves' eye disease), multiple sclerosis (MS), and Parkinson's disease.
In addition to the conditions listed above, the neuro-ophthalmology specialists at Wills Eye also treat:
• Optic neuritis
• Optic neuropathy
• Myasthenia gravis
• Transient visual loss
• Double vision
• Pituitary adenoma
• Atypical eye movement
• Ocular disorders that may occur with brain tumors, AIDS, and stroke.
In the comprehensive assessment of a patient's condition, a neuro-ophthalmologist will integrate various diagnostic studies to ensure a thorough evaluation. These include:
• Visual field test
• CT and MRI scanning
• Color flow Doppler vascular imaging, as well as vascular imaging of the carotid, vertebral, and basilar arteries
• Spectral domain and multicolor optical coherence tomography (MC-OCT) and optical coherence tomographic angiography (OCT-A)
