Neuro
Opthalmology

Neuro ophthalmology, a highly specialized field, investigates the intricate connection between the visual system and the nervous system, making it a critical bridge between the worlds of ophthalmology and neurology. This branch of medicine is dedicated to the diagnosis and management of disorders that affect both the eye and the brain, offering a unique perspective on conditions that often require a multidisciplinary approach.

Common neuro-ophthalmology disorders are optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve), optic neuropathy of any cause, papilledema (optic disc edema), ocular myasthenia gravis, brain tumours affecting vision, idiopathic intracranial hypertension or pseudotumor cerebri, unexplained visual loss.

Neuro ophthalmology treatment requires a holistic approach to addressing conditions that affect the connection between the ophthalmic and the nervous system. Early recognition of symptoms is crucial, thus consulting a neurological ophthalmologist is advised as soon as you notice symptoms like double vision, abnormal eye movements, vision loss, etc.

Symptoms of

Neuro-Ophthalmology
Disorders

A sudden diminishing of sight and in worse cases, even total loss of sight
A sudden eye stroke or black out (loss of vision called transient ischemic attack)
Visual hallucinations, where patients see things, shapes or silhouettes where there are none
Diplopia (Double vision)
Intractable headaches without any seeming cause or plausible reason
Abnormalities of the pupil (slow reaction, the difference in the size of the pupils)
