Evaluation and Diagnosis
Evaluation includes a detailed history and physical examination. From this initial examination, the neuro-ophthalmologist is often able to formulate a list of possible diagnoses and may order additional testing aimed at identifying a specific disease process or abnormality. Tests commonly ordered include:
- Cerebral angiography
- Electrophysiologic testing of the retina or optic nerve
- Laboratory blood studies
- Neuro-imaging (MRI or CT Scan)
- Ocular coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus photography
- Visual field testing
