First visit to a neuro-ophthalmologist, what to expect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few new things: You were probably referred by an ophthalmologist for some condition in which the nervous system and eyes interact . Many of the tests are the same but the emphasis will be more on how the eyes are having difficulty due to nervous system problems. You probably will think the exams are similar but the interpretation will be more in depth in the direction of the brain and nerves.

If someone thinks that he/she is developing retinal detachment, why should they first contact the ophthalmologist or vitreo-retinal specialist rather than call 911 to go immediately to the emergency room for retinal treatment? Isn't this an emergency?
