superior oblique myokymia

[EagleMom]

How do you find a doctor that you can go to for superior oblique myokymia?  I was diagnosed at Emory Univ. and then treated locally by a neurologist.  Since then my neurologist moved and I am trying to find another person who can prescribe medication or other treatments.

Depending on the distance you live from Atlanta and your personal wishes you could be followed at you home if a proper specialist is available or you could continue to be followed at Emory.

Thanks.  I didn't know if the doctor there at Emory just diagnoses the condition and then sends the findings back (like she did) to my neurologist OR if I could make an appointment again with her to be treated now since I don't have the neurologist anymore.  She is a neuro-ophthamologist.  Thanks!

I trained at Emory University Medical School, Department of Ophthalmology and it's one of the finest programs in the world, always rated in the top 10 in USA.

I would make an appointment with a neuro-ophthalmologist at Emory U Dept of Ophthalmology.
