In Greek and Roman times a hollow optic nerve resulted in loss of flow to and from the brain causing blindness. In Medieval times physicians found that a fixed dilated pupil was a symptom of obstruction of the optic nerve. Later on, in around the 17th century, people started understanding more about the optic nerve. Eventually there were tools that were made to help people better understand the optic nerve, this resulted in medical breakthroughs.]]> 2020-09-01 20:14:01 UTC https://padlet.com/150682/5mwpikgatkj43c2d/wish/713169847 150682 https://padlet.com/150682/5mwpikgatkj43c2d/wish/713797453 To become a Neuro-ophthalmologist you should have at least 5 years of clinical training after medical school, take residency in Neurology or Ophthalmology, then a fellowship in Neuro- Ophthalmology. ]]> 2020-09-02 02:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/150682/5mwpikgatkj43c2d/wish/713797453 150682 https://padlet.com/150682/5mwpikgatkj43c2d/wish/713805683 Depending on the person and what they choose, it really depends. For me personally, I would want to study neurology and optic neurology/neuro ophthalmology. Some people decide to study mainly ophthalmology and some neurology. ]]> 2020-09-02 02:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/150682/5mwpikgatkj43c2d/wish/713805683 150682 https://padlet.com/150682/5mwpikgatkj43c2d/wish/713814768 I would like to work at Kaiser Permanente. The specific loaction I would like to work at is Vandever, San Diego. I would like to work here because when I was little and got very bad bilateral optic neuritis. I remember going there and seeing a neuro-ophthalmologist who admitted me to the hospital and was very nice. ]]> 2020-09-02 03:00:14 UTC https://padlet.com/150682/5mwpikgatkj43c2d/wish/713814768 150682 https://padlet.com/150682/5mwpikgatkj43c2d/wish/713832923 There are many tools that I would use in this career. I would use an exophthalmometer, fluorescien angiography, electroretinography, and ocular ultrasounds. Another tool I might use would be flashing and moving a light in front of the eyes to see how movements of light are travelling to the brain.]]> 2020-09-02 03:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/150682/5mwpikgatkj43c2d/wish/713832923 150682 https://padlet.com/150682/5mwpikgatkj43c2d/wish/713858938 The salary range for being a neuro-ophthalmologist is between $122k-$214k.

This job helps society because they specialize in the nerves in the brain that connect to the eye. Neurologists could not do this job without the ophthalmology part, and ophthalmologists could not do this job without the neurology part. This is why there are neuro-ophthalmologists.]]> 2020-09-02 03:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/150682/5mwpikgatkj43c2d/wish/713864192 150682 https://padlet.com/150682/5mwpikgatkj43c2d/wish/713874490 Frank B.
