Professor Anat Kesler
Neurologist, neuro-ophthalmologist. Head of the Neuro-Ophthalmology Unit at the Intracranial Pressure Center. Professor of neurology and ophthalmology at Tel Aviv University and coordinator of continuing education courses in neuro-ophthalmology.
Professor Kesler is first and foremost a neurologist devoted to the study and treatment of optic nerve pathologies and their causes. Her expertise covers everything between the eye and the occipital lobe of the brain, which is responsible for processing visual information. Vision loss can be caused by various neurological diseases, head injuries and brain tumors. Where another neurologist sees vision problems, and an ophthalmologist suspects neurological problems, a neuro-ophthalmologist is needed, with the knowledge and experience of Professor Anat Kesler.
Anat Kesler studied biology at the Faculty of Medicine of Tel Aviv University, then continued her education at the University of Siena in Italy. In 1978 she returned to Tel Aviv University, where until 1981 she studied neurology and neuro-ophthalmology at the Sackler School of Medicine.
1982-1988: residency in neurology at Meir Medical Center in Israel, where in 1989 she became chief neurologist and then director of the Neuro-Ophthalmology Company.
To improve her qualifications in neuro-ophthalmology Dr. Kesler trained in the USA, at Long Island Jewish Hospital in New York and at the Mercy Neuroscience Institute in Miami.
Since 2001 she has headed the Neuro-Ophthalmology Unit at the Intracranial Pressure Center.
