Gabrielle R. Bonhomme serves as division chief of Neuro-Ophthalmology and is the sole full-time Ophthalmology and Neuro-Ophthalmology fellowship-trained adult Neuro-Ophthalmologist for the UPMC system, with a broadening referral base of 300 square miles. The UPMC Vision Institute division of Neuro-Ophthalmology is the singular referral center for patients with Neuro-ophthalmologic disorders in the region, and receives referrals from a growing number of neurologists, ophthalmologists, and neurosurgeons in western PA, Maryland, West Virginia, and New York, as well as many international patients referred via the UPMC Global Care program. Her clinical areas of interest include intracranial hypertension, neoplasia of the sella and skull base, and patients with neuro-oncologic disorders.

Dr. Bonhomme's research interests include improving the evaluation of the efficacy of venous sinus stenting in subjects with vision loss due to IIH (OPEN-UP study), the diagnosis of para-neoplastic syndromes affecting the vision of subjects with lung cancer, creating an algorithm to predict post-operative results in subjects with vision-threatening anterior visual pathway tumors, creating a multi-disciplinary Longitudinal Database of subjects with PCA strokes to study using OCT and fMRI, and DTI Techniques, and investigating the use of HDFT MRI post-processing technique in pre-operative planning.
- 2012 - present: CAR study/ PATHs Award - University of Pittsburgh Medical School PATHS Pilot Program Grant to be used to fund this pilot study on improving the diagnosis of para-neoplastic syndromes affecting the vision of subjects with lung cancer.
