The University of Utah Health's podcast, The Scope, recently highlighted our own Dr. Judith Warner and asked her seven questions about neuro-ophthalmology. She explains how the eyes and brain work together, the red-flag symptoms you should never ignore, and the most common reasons people get referred.

Listen Here:

Sudden vision changes aren’t always an eye issue—they can signal a brain problem. Neuro-ophthalmologist Judith Warner, MD, explains key red flags (like a brief “black curtain” over one eye), why people get referred, and what causes unexplained vision loss or double vision.

Glaucoma awareness month may be coming to an end, but our work to fight the disease continues.

Since she was little, this young patient has faced vision challenges that made everyday life more difficult. When her sight began to worsen, her home doctor, Dr. Stiles, reached out to Dr. Ike Ahmed at the Moran Eye Center for help.

Dr. Ahmed and the Moran team were eager to step in — knowing that with so much life ahead of her, protecting her vision meant protecting her future. Together, they created a seamless care experience that brought comfort, trust, and hope to the patient and her family.
