Dr. Jade Schiffman, MD Professional

With the opening of the Optic Nerve Center, Neuro-Ophthalmology of Texas at Eye Wellness Center brings together a full range of services to diagnose and help manage optic nerve problems and other sight threatening conditions. The Center is directed by two collaborating, fellowship-trained neuro-ophthalmologists and fellows of North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society. Both Rosa A. Tang, M.D. and Jade S. Schiffman M.D. are award winning, board certified in ophthalmology, have been in the “Best Doctors in America” for over 20 consecutive years, and held academic positions at UT (Houston and Galveston) and at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, respectively as Professors. Dr. Schiffman is also a board-certified neurologist. Their passion for sorting out symptoms such as blurred vision, vision loss, spots in vision, visual field defects, double vision and other symptoms is the essence of their practice. They take a “Sherlock Holmes approach,” taking a careful history, then gathering and integrating data from sophisticated in-house technologies such as: visual charts with low and high contrast (ETDRS); Zeiss automated perimetry and computerized optic disc and retinal analysis (OCT); visual evoked potential; multifocal electroretinogram; Zeiss fundus camera and Optos camera; Ultrasound of the orbit and the eye; and pachymetry and Oculus keratography. With Zeiss “Forum,” an image management software, all photos are easily viewed by the patient and integrated into their EMR.
