Neuro-Ophthalmology FellowshipFacilities and Clinical ExperienceNeuro-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, F-M 100 hue and Ishihara color testing materials in addition to the standard examination equipment. Humphrey static perimetry, Octopus 101 kinetic and static perimetry and tangent screen perimetry are available as well. Didactic ExperienceNeuro-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 County Hospital. The fellow is, therefore, exposed to excellent clinical material culled from these institutions. Dr. Goodwin and Dr. Gilbert deliver a series of lectures on neuro-ophthalmologic topics to the eye residents and the fellows are encouraged to attend these and to develop lectures themselves. Neuro-ophthalmologic cases are also presented in the departmental Clinical Conference which is held on a rotating basis. In addition, Dr. Gilbert gives a series of neuro-ophthalmology lectures to the UIC neurology residents. She also rounds with the neurology residents twice a month to review interesting cases that have been seen on the inpatient neurology service. The fellow is encouraged to attend these lectures and rounds as well. 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.
