Abstract

Neuro-ophthalmologists specialize in complex, urgent, vision- and life-threatening problems, diagnostic dilemmas, and management of complex work-ups. Access is currently limited by the relatively small number of neuro-ophthalmologists, and consequently, patients may be affected by incorrect or delayed diagnosis. The objective of this study is to analyze referral patterns to neuro- ophthalmologists, characterize rates of misdiagnoses and delayed diagnoses in patients ultimately referred, and delineate outcomes after neuro-ophthalmologic evaluation
