Description
Neuro-ophthalmology consultations are critical to the diagnosis and management in the hospital setting. Prompt consultation prevents diagnostic errors and improves patient outcomes. The scarcity of neuro-ophthalmologists means that the increasing outpatient demand cannot be met, prompting many emergency department referrals by non–neuro-ophthalmologists. Dr. Drew Carey discusses this shortage of neuro-ophthalmologists and the need for technological and diagnostic aids for greater outpatient access with Dr. Valérie Biousse, author of “Neuro-ophthalmology Emergency Department and Inpatient Consultations at a Large Academic Referral Center.” Neuro-ophthalmology Emergency Department and Inpatient Consultations at a Large Academic Referral Center. Okrent Smolar, Avital Lily et al. Ophthalmology, Volume 130, Issue 12, 1304 – 1312
