In this survey, 64% of survey respondents were male (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 18), while 36% were female (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 10). The average age of a respondent was 55 years old.

Given the underrepresentation of neuro-ophthalmology in the United States as described in the literature, this study strengthens the need for more neuro-ophthalmologists to provide timely care, particularly during the pandemic. Further interventions to incentivize the pursuit of neuro-ophthalmology training may help combat the effects of COVID-19 on neuro-ophthalmic conditions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/cjn.2023.37","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,27]],"date-time":"2023-03-27T11:55:50Z","timestamp":1679918150000},"page":"233-237","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Impact of COVID-19 on Neuro-Ophthalmology in the United States: A National Survey"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8999-0212","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ethan","family":"Waisberg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joshua","family":"Ong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nasif","family":"Zaman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sharif Amit","family":"Kamran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alireza","family":"Tavakkoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew G.","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0317167123000379_ref13","first-page":"9","article-title":"Optimizing screening for preventable blindness with head-mounted visual assessment technology","volume":"116","author":"Waisberg","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Vis Impairment Blindness."},{"key":"S0317167123000379_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/aos.14438"},{"key":"S0317167123000379_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcjo.2022.10.015"},{"key":"S0317167123000379_ref8","article-title":"The impact of COVID-19 on managing ophthalmic diseases: an international, descriptive study","volume":"11","author":"Waisberg","year":"2023","journal-title":"Ir J Med Sci."},{"key":"S0317167123000379_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18240\/ijo.2022.04.02"},{"key":"S0317167123000379_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41526-022-00222-7"},{"key":"S0317167123000379_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/WNO.0000000000001214"},{"key":"S0317167123000379_ref1","unstructured":"1.
