Neuro ophthalmology is a specialized field that focuses on the complex relationship between the eyes and the brain. This field addresses visual issues that stem from neurological conditions, making the role of a neuro ophthalmologist essential in diagnosing and treating these unique challenges. ASG Eye Hospital is proud to offer expertise in neuro ophthalmology, providing patients with the highest level of care for conditions that affect their vision and overall quality of life.
What is Neuro Ophthalmology?
Neuro ophthalmology combines elements of neurology and ophthalmology to understand and treat visual disorders caused by issues in the brain, optic nerves, and eye movement systems. This subspecialty addresses complex cases where visual problems are linked to neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, brain tumors, optic neuritis, and even certain types of migraines.
Common Conditions Treated in Neuro Ophthalmology
A neuro ophthalmologist specializes in a range of conditions, including:
· Optic Neuritis: - Inflammation of the optic nerve can cause sudden vision loss or blurred vision. Optic neuritis is often linked to neurological conditions, making neuro ophthalmology essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
- Double Vision (Diplopia): - Neurological issues can lead to double vision, making it difficult to perform daily tasks. A neuro ophthalmologist can assess the underlying cause, whether it’s related to cranial nerves, eye muscles, or brain function, and recommend a tailored treatment plan.
- Visual Field Defects: - Some patients experience partial vision loss due to strokes, brain tumors, or injuries. By working closely with neurological specialists, neuro ophthalmologists can identify the cause and offer solutions to improve the patient’s field of vision.
- Unexplained Vision Loss: - When vision loss occurs without a clear eye-related reason, it may have a neurological origin. Specialized testing in neuro ophthalmology helps uncover underlying causes, allowing for effective treatment.
