Ophthalmologic Monitoring
Regular ophthalmologic examinations with repeated visual electrophysiology testing to track changes over time and identify progression or improvement in the abnormal findings.
Comprehensive Ophthalmologic Evaluation
Detailed eye examination including fundoscopy, visual field testing, and OCT imaging to identify underlying causes of the electrophysiology abnormalities such as retinal or optic nerve pathology.
Additional treatment options
Neuroprotective Therapy
If an underlying retinal or optic nerve condition is identified, appropriate neuroprotective or anti-inflammatory medications may be prescribed to address the root cause of the electrophysiology abnormality.
medicationSurgical Intervention
If structural abnormalities such as tumors, retinal detachment, or optic nerve compression are identified as causes, surgical correction may be necessary to restore normal visual electrophysiology.
surgicalProtective Eyewear and Environmental Modifications
Use of protective eyewear and avoidance of environmental toxins or medications known to affect visual electrophysiology, along with proper lighting and reduced screen exposure.
