 Neuro-Ophthalmology
Associates provide world-class care for complex eye disorders. Sudden vision
loss is a traumatic event. Such vision loss can be the result of damage
or disease to the optic nerve including tumors, aneurysms and Grave's disease.
More frequently, acute loss of vision is related to conditions that obstruct
blood vessels in the optic nerve or retina. Because of the difficulty in
diagnosis, it is recommended that patients seek specialized help from a
Neuro-ophthalmologist to receive the most effective treatment. Neuro-Ophthalmology
Associates specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of neurologic and
vascular diseases that affect the eyes.
"Many neurologic problems produce eye symptoms, such as loss of sight
or double vision," says Joel S. Glaser, M.D. "An Neuro-opthalmologist must
go beyond routine neurological medicine to understanding the complex visual
system and its diseases."
Neuro-Ophthalmology Associates comprise two world-renowned
Neuro-ophthalmologists, Joel S. Glaser,
M.D. and Norman J. Schatz, M.D. These physicians bring over
50 years combined experience in Neuro-ophthalmology, especially
in diseases that involve the optic nerves and cause abnormal
eye movements. These two physicians have worked together for
more than 15 years. They continue to provide competent patient
care and management in the South Florida and the southern regional
area.
Doctors Glaser and Schatz are frequent speakers at national and international
meetings in North and South America and in Europe, and together have authored
over 200 scientific papers. Dr. Glaser's textbook, Neuro-Ophthalmology,
has been published in three languages and is regarded as the best single
volume book in Neuro-ophthalmology.
