IIH: The Optometrist’s Role

July 30, 2025

In this session, Dr. Do explores the critical role optometrists play in the early detection and ongoing management of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Using real-world examples and clinical insights, he highlights how routine eye exams can reveal early signs of IIH, what specific symptoms and visual changes to look for, and which diagnostic tools and tests can support evaluation.
