Visual Symptoms and Movement Disorders: Establishing a Neuro-ophthalmology Clinic Designed for Patients with Movement Disorders (.pdf)

We aim to share knowledge gained with the development of a subspecialty clinic within neuro-ophthalmology for patients with visual complaints in the setting of a movement disorder, including: Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease (IPD), Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, dementia with Lewy Bodies, Parkinsonism, ataxia, and others. Barriers to the delivery of high-quality, neuro-ophthalmic care that is patient-centered include the multifactorial, fluctuating, and progressive nature of the visual symptoms and the need for extended appointments to accommodate fatigue and cognitive impairment. To address these barriers, we established a monthly neuro-ophthalmology clinic dedicated to patients with movement disorders.
