About

Neuro-ophthalmologist Andre Aung, MD in Encinitas practices at Scripps Clinic's Santa Fe Drive location, holding memberships in both the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society. His dual-specialty caseload spans comprehensive ophthalmology and neuro-ophthalmology, managing conditions from routine cataracts to complex papilledema and optic neuritis alongside primary-care coordination at Chari Center of Health for patients with systemic contributors to visual symptoms. Rush Medical College-trained, Dr. Aung performs selective laser trabeculoplasty, laser peripheral iridotomy, and laser capsulotomy in addition to standard cataract extraction at the Scripps Encinitas surgical center. Neuro-ophthalmology evaluations target diplopia, visual field defects, thyroid eye disease, myasthenia gravis, and pupil abnormalities, including stroke- and brain-tumor-related vision loss requiring cross-disciplinary imaging review. The clinic's neuro-visual diagnostic pathway requires audiology co-evaluation, and Advanced Hearing in Encinitas provides the audiometric testing that complements cranial-nerve deficit workups. Highest-complexity interventions involve serial visual-field mapping and optic-nerve OCT imaging for papilledema patients requiring intracranial-pressure correlation with neurology and neuroradiology teams.
