Neuro-Ophthalmology
The Neuro-Ophthalmology section of the OHSU
Casey Eye Institute is a vital component of the OHSU Pituitary
Unit. Because of the sensitive location
of pituitary tumors, vision loss may occur and this may happen without
the patient even being aware of the problem. Repeat neuro-ophthalmic evaluations
are therefore crucial in following patients with pituitary tumors.
Services Offered
- Patients will receive a thorough neuro-ophthalmic consultation.
- Eye functions to be examined include: visual acuity, color vision,
pupil reactivity, eye movements and peripheral vision via Goldman visual field exam.
- Pupils will be dilated for a complete retinal exam.
- Complete report of findings and recommendations will be sent to referring physician.
- Services are provided to both OHSU physicians and outside clinicians.
