Neuro-ophthalmology Physicians and Providers

  • Brian Ellis, MD

Neuro-Ophthalmology

The neuro-ophthalmologists at the WVU Eye Institute can help you with problems that involve the relationship between the eye and the brain, how the eye sends visual messages to the brain, and how the brain influences the eye. They also can work with you if you suffer with migraine headaches with visual symptoms and brain lesions that affect the eye.

Patients are typically referred by their local eye care provider or neurologist. Common visual complaints include double vision, vision loss related to optic nerve or visual pathway/brain pathology and vision loss of unknown etiology.

Our Services

Evaluations and testing performed and ordered by neuro-ophthalmology include:
  • Eye examination with refraction
  • Visual field testing
  • Color vision testing
  • Measurement of eye motility disorders and prescription of prism
  • Oct evaluation of optic nerve and macula
  • ERG and VEP
  • Temporal artery biopsy
  • Botulinum injections
Additionally, because of the vast facilities and subspecialty departments at West Virginia University, further evaluation of systemic problems impacting on the visual system can be obtained through state-of-the-art neuroimaging including MRI, CTA and PET. Consultations to the WVU School of Medicine Departments of Neurology, Neurosurgery, Rheumatology and/or Medicine may also be required to address more complex physical problems.

Provider Alert

Neuro-ophthalmology services at our Morgantown locations are operated by WVU Hospitals.
