Neuro-Ophthalmology Fellowship

The Neuro-ophthalmology fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC Eye Center is designed to provide specialized training in Neuro-ophthalmology for an ophthalmologist or neurologist who has completed an approved residency program. The fellowship at UPMC Eye Center allows the unique opportunity to train with three clinical fellowship-trained Neuro-ophthalmologists, two ophthalmology-trained and one neurology-trained.  We offer exposure to adult and pediatric neuro-ophthalmology, adult strabismus and oculoplastic surgery, as well as close interaction with the neurology and neurosurgical departments.

Goals and Expectations of Fellowship:

  • Acquire the knowledge and skill necessary to diagnose and treat neuro-ophthalmic problems including but not limited to neurological, developmental, degenerative and systemic diseases which affect the ocular-motor system and sensory visual pathways.
  • Attend neuro-ophthalmology clinics at the Eye and Ear Institute and at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.
  • Teach and supervise residents in inpatient and emergency consultations.
