Neuro-Ophthalmology with Dr. Manasa Gunturu
04/21/25 • 47 min
In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Manasa Gunturu, a neurology-trained neuro-ophthalmologist and associate professor at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
We discuss the art of detailed history-taking and specialized examination skills, the evaluation of patients with subjective vision loss, double vision, visual field defects, and droopy eyelids – often after they've already seen multiple specialists without answers. We also explore the educational pathways to becoming a neuro-ophthalmologist and the surprising disparity between ophthalmology and neurology training requirements.
With only about 600 practicing neuro-ophthalmologists in the United States and some states having just a single specialist, Dr. Gunturu makes a compelling case for why more neurologists should consider this rewarding subspecialty and shares resources for trainees looking to improve their neuro-ophthalmology skills.
