Facilities and Clinical Experience
Neuro-ophthalmology clinics are held at the UIC Eye Center. The neuro-ophthalmology fellow will have the opportunity to examine approximately 35 patients per week. Examining lanes are specially equipped with Goldmann perimeters, ETDRS visual acuity charts, Pelli-Robson contrast sensitivity charts, F-M 100 hue and Ishihara color testing materials in addition to the standard examination equipment. Humphrey perimetry and VEP is available to patients.
Didactic Experience
Neuro-ophthalmology case conferences are held at the West Side Veterans Administration Medical Center (a departmental affiliate) one day a week, and a clinical case conference is held once a month in the neurology department at Cook Count Hospital. The fellow is, therefore, exposed to excellent clinical material culled from these institutions. Dr. Goodwin delivers a series of lectures on neuro-ophthalmologic topics to the eye residents and the fellows are encouraged to attend these. Neuro-ophthalmologic cases are also presented in the departmental Grand Rounds on a weekly basis.
Dr. Goodwin maintains an extensive library of videotaped eye movement disorders that the fellow may review. Videotaping equipment, kept in Dr. Goodwin's office, is available for the fellow to record patients with interesting eye movement and other disorders. Also available is the infrared video pupillograph for recording pupillary and some oculomotor phenomena. Dr. Goodwin is developing an extensive videotape library of pupillary abnormalities.
