The Queen’s University Department of Ophthalmology offers specialized care in neuro-ophthalmology. Neuro-ophthalmology is a subspecialty of both ophthalmology and neurology. Many neuro-ophthalmic disorders affect the eye and brain, as well as the nerves and muscles that connect them. Some can threaten vision or are life-threatening.
At KHSC, you receive comprehensive evaluation for double vision, trouble focusing your eyes, and loss of vision. Your customized management plan may involve other hospital specialists. The neuro-ophthalmologists collaborate closely with KHSC’s other experts in neurology, neurosurgery, neuroimaging, oncology and other fields.
The Queen’s University neuro-ophthalmology team is committed to ongoing research to improve the diagnosis and treatment of neuro-ophthalmology diseases.
