The UC Davis Health System neuro-ophthalmology service in the Department of Ophthalmology provides highly specialized consultations in the diagnosis and treatment of complex unexplained neurological abnormalities affecting visual pathways.

The typical case is a patient who experiences unexplained vision loss. Routine diagnostic tests and a thorough evaluation by an ophthalmologist and/or neurologist and other appropriate sub specialists. Less complicated cases can often be resolved with a telephone consultation.

Facilitating the service's hallmark diagnostic capabilities is a full complement of the most sophisticated diagnostic tools and technology, including computerized visual field testing, the latest in 3-D digital imaging and electrophysiological testing, including VEP, ERG and MFERG.
