About Jeffrey Alan Gluckstein, MD

Jeffrey Gluckstein is a neurologist and neuro-ophthalmologist. He provides consultation for conditions affecting the connections between the eye and brain and the processing of visual stimuli. He sees patients with conditions affecting the optic nerve, visual pathways in the brain, and nerves of the eye.

Dr. Gluckstein’s research is focused on the recovery of vision after injury to the brain. While treatments are improving to protect patients from brain injury, little is known about how to effectively recover vision after the parts of the brain responsible for visual processing are lost.

 

Vision is integral to our daily lives. My patients are keenly aware of changes in their vision, so the most important step in evaluating my patients is a good conversation.

I think that all medical decisions require balancing risks and benefits in the context of each patient’s lifestyle and values. I want my patients to understand their diagnosis, appreciate their treatment options, and feel confident in their medical plan.

I am interested in protecting vision and health and believe in following evidence to pursue the best treatments for my patients. Sadly, not all neuro-ophthalmologic conditions have effective therapies, but I think that helping patients understand their condition and prognosis is still useful. Navigating a rough road is hard, but it’s a little easier with a map!
