Minimally Invasive Neuro-ophthalmology Surgery with Dr. Howard Krauss

Think Neuro

Sometimes the best surgery is no surgery. That's what Howard R. Krauss, MD believes. Dr. Krauss is one of the four founders of Pacific Neuroscience Institute, and Director of the Pacific Eye, Ear and Skull Base Center. He is a surgical neuro-ophthalmologist specializing in diagnostic neuro-ophthalmology, including visual field analysis and optical coherence tomography, as well as strabismus, orbital and anterior skull base surgery.

If surgery is necessary, Dr. Krauss has the experience to provide minimally invasive treatments. He was a cofounder of the UCLA Skull Base Surgery and Orbitocranial Tumor Programs, and is presently active in skull base and orbital disease, and tumor care at PNI.

In 2001, Dr. Krauss and fellow PNI founder Dr. Chester Griffiths were the first in the world to devise and carry out Transnasal Image-Guided Endoscopic Orbital Tumor Surgery, a safer, less invasive and more efficacious approach to the management of orbital apex tumors.
