Neuro Ophthalmology
Neuro-ophthalmologists specialize in caring for patients with vision loss due to neurologic problems and diseases or injuries to the optic nerve and structures responsible for eye movement and pupillary function. They treat individuals who have eye movement and vision problems resulting from head trauma, stroke or tumor.Our neuro-ophthalmologists are studying hereditary diseases that cause optic nerve lesions and degeneration and are researching ways to improve diagnostic techniques and disease management.

Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy (die-uh-BET-ik ret-ih-NOP-uh-thee) is a diabetes complication that affects eyes. It's caused by damage to the blood vessels of the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye (retina). At first, diabetic retinopathy may cause no symptoms or only mild vision problems. Eventually, it can cause blindness. The condition can develop in anyone who has type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The longer you have diabetes and the less controlled your blood sugar is, the more likely you are to develop this eye complication.
