Neuro-Ophthalmology

Understanding Neuro-Ophthalmology:

Neuro-ophthalmology is a specialized field that focuses on the complex interplay between the eyes and the brain. It deals with conditions that affect vision due to neurological disorders or diseases affecting the visual pathways. Let's explore the fascinating realm of neuro-ophthalmology and understand the conditions it addresses.

Neuro-Ophthalmology: 

Neuro-ophthalmology delves into the intricate connections between the eyes and the brain, addressing conditions that impact vision and eye movements. This field requires expertise in both ophthalmology and neurology to diagnose and manage complex visual disorders.

Common Conditions and Concerns:

• Optic Nerve Disorders: Conditions such as optic neuritis, optic neuropathy, or optic nerve tumors can lead to vision loss, changes in color vision, or visual field defects.
• Visual Pathway Lesions: Lesions affecting the visual pathways, including the optic chiasm, optic tracts, or visual cortex, can cause visual field deficits, visual hallucinations, or visual processing abnormalities.
• Nerve Palsies and Eye Movement Disorders: Neurological conditions such as cranial nerve palsies, nystagmus, or strabismus can affect eye movements, leading to double vision (diplopia) or abnormal eye alignment.

Our Comprehensive Services:

At our clinic, we offer comprehensive services to address neuro-ophthalmic conditions:

• Advanced Diagnostic Testing: Our neuro-ophthalmologists utilize state-of-the-art imaging techniques and electrophysiological testing to evaluate the structural and functional integrity of the visual pathways.
• Multidisciplinary Approach: We collaborate closely with neurologists, neurosurgeons, and other specialists to provide integrated care for patients with complex neurological and visual disorders.
• Medical Management: We offer personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's specific condition, which may include medications, vision rehabilitation, or neurosurgical interventions.
• Visual Field Testing: We perform detailed visual field testing to assess peripheral and central vision, helping to identify visual field defects associated with neurological conditions.

Who Should Seek Help?

If you experience symptoms such as sudden vision changes, visual field loss, double vision, or unexplained eye movements, it's essential to seek evaluation by a neuro-ophthalmologist. These symptoms could indicate underlying neurological issues that require specialized care.
