Welcome!
The Neuro-Ophthalmology service of the Brigham and Women's Hospital Department of Neurology diagnoses and treats disorders involving the visual pathways and eye movements. A number of neurological conditions affect the areas of the brain devoted to vision. Disturbances of these important visual areas may produce debilitating symptoms, and often require high-quality, specialized care.
