About Me

Dr. Shira S. Simon is a neuro-ophthalmologist with Northwestern Medical Group who cares for adults with vision problems that may be related to the brain, optic nerve, or eye movement pathways. She evaluates symptoms such as double vision, unexplained vision loss, and visual field changes, and works closely with patients to pinpoint the cause and create a clear plan.

Dr. Simon earned her medical degree at Harvard Medical School. She completed training at Cambridge Health Alliance and finished residency at McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University, followed by fellowship training at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. She is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and serves as an associate professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
