About Me

Dr. Editha Johnson is a neuro-ophthalmologist who cares for adults with complex conditions affecting the optic nerve, eye movements, and brain-eye connections. She partners closely with patients to sort through troubling symptoms such as vision loss or double vision, providing clear explanations and step-by-step plans tailored to the underlying diagnosis. Dr. Johnson earned her medical degree from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine, completed internship and ophthalmology residency at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, and pursued fellowship training at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell. Her practice spans inflammatory, ischemic, and compressive optic neuropathies as well as cerebrospinal fluid pressure disorders and ocular motility problems. Patients value her thorough evaluations, collaborative communication with referring clinicians, and practical guidance on treatment and follow-up. Dr. Johnson's approach emphasizes evidence-based testing and compassionate counseling so individuals understand what is causing their symptoms and what to expect next.
