Professional History

Board Certified:

Ophthalmology

Medical/Professional School:

University of Miami School of Medicine, Miami

Residency:

Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, Internal MedicineWashington University School of Medicine, St Louis, Ophthalmology

Fellowship:

Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, Research

Clinical Interests:

Electroretinogram, Oculomotor testing (Eye Movement Testing), Visual evoked potential

Description of Research:

We study visual function in a wide range of clinical disorders using visual evoked potentials (VEPs). Presently, we are concentrating on visual impairments associated with cortical malformations and visual pathway tumors. We are also interested in how the visual system extracts information from a moving a moving stimulus in patients with infantile nystagmus.
