Dr. Ahmad Halawa

Dr. Ahmad Halawa is a neuro-ophthalmologist and pediatric ophthalmologist who cares for both children and adults at Nebraska Medicine’s Truhlsen Eye Institute. He helps patients with vision problems that intersect the brain and the eyes—ranging from optic nerve inflammation to complex eye movement disorders—and explains each diagnosis in clear, practical language. His goal is to match advanced testing with a friendly, step-by-step plan so patients and families know what to expect at every visit.

He has special interest in conditions like double vision and strabismus, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, nystagmus, and amblyopia (lazy eye). Dr. Halawa completed medical school at the University of Jordan and advanced training in ophthalmology before dual fellowships in neuro-ophthalmology and pediatric ophthalmology at the University of Michigan. Patients appreciate his calm, collaborative style and his focus on evidence-based care paired with thoughtful follow-up.
