Wayne Cornblath

Wayne Cornblath is a Clinical Professor at the University of Michigan, Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences. His research focuses on neuro-ophthalmic conditions, including ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG), posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), optic neuritis, and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).

• Key Research Areas: Neuro-Ophthalmology, Autoimmune Disorders, and Neurodegenerative Syndromes.
• Notable Contributions: Development and validation of patient-reported outcome measures for OMG, clinical characterization of PCA as a neurodegenerative syndrome linked to Alzheimer’s, and analysis of IIH risk factors and treatment outcomes.

Recent publications highlight his work on the OMGRate questionnaire for ocular myasthenia gravis, multi-center validation studies, and the association between hormonal contraceptives and IIH. His studies often integrate clinical data registries, comparative cohort analyses, and imaging techniques to improve diagnosis and prognosis in neuro-ophthalmic disorders.
