Overview
Goals of the Neuro-Ophthalmology Division:
- To provide a high quality full time clinical consultation service for physicians in British Columbia who have patients with neuro-ophthalmic problems.
- To teach medical students, residents, fellows, and practicing physicians fundamental principles of management of patients with neuro-ophthalmic disease.
- To develop new knowledge in neuro-ophthalmology through clinical and basic research in conjunction with other clinical and basic research scientists.
- To manage scarce resources wisely through effective evidence based practice.
There are 10 neuro-ophthalmic consultation clinics per week at the various affiliated hospitals. Ninety percent of the patients in these clinics are involved with clinical teaching, and twenty percent are involved with clinical research. Off site consultation services are provided outside of regular clinics at Vancouver Hospital, UBC Hospital, Providence Hospitals, Children’s Hospital and GF Strong Rehabilitation Institute. The active members of the division are available for telephone consultations from physicians throughout BC and the western provinces and territories. The associate members manage the neuro-ophthalmic patients in their geographic areas in consultation with the active members. The active and associate members provide backup call for each other during periods of absence.
