Neuro-Ophthalmology Service

SUNY Downstate has a long-standing reputation for expertise in the evaluation and treatment of neuro-ophthalmologic diseases, the ocular manifestations of neurological diseases, and defects in the neurosensory system. Patients who are candidates for evaluation include those with suspected optic neuritis, optic nerve tumors, chiasmal lesions, unexplained visual loss, disorders of perception, and other neurological maladies. UOC Neuro-Ophthalmology evaluations include the use of state-of-the-art imaging to pinpoint the location and characteristic features of suspected lesions.

Diagnosis and treatment is provided by an expert team of neuro-ophthalmologists who are fellowship trained by Arthur H. Wolintz, M.D., Distinguished Teaching Professor of the State University of New York and former Chairman of Ophthalmology at Downstate Medical Center.
