ANZAN Webinar: An Eye on the Eye in Neurological Disease

Date:
22 Oct 2025 at 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Location:
Online
Host:
Australian and New Zealand Association of Neurologists (ANZAN)

Advances in imaging technology, coupled with greater accessibility, have positioned the eye and visual pathways as a valuable tool for understanding neurological disease and guiding management.

Through a case-based approach, this session will offer a practical clinical update on three frequently encountered presentations: idiopathic intracranial hypertension, optic neuritis, and amaurosis fugax.

This session is designed for a general audience, with no specialist prior knowledge required.

About the presenter

Dr Benson Chen is a Consultant Neurologist and Neuro-ophthalmologist at Auckland City Hospital. After completing neurology training in Auckland in 2018, he undertook a neuro-ophthalmology fellowship at Emory Eye Center in Atlanta, GA, USA. This was followed by a PhD and clinical research fellowship in mitochondrial disease in the mitoCAMB research group at the University of Cambridge.

Dr Chen's clinical research, supported by the Neurological Foundation, focuses on the visual pathways as a marker of neurological disease.
