Neuro Opthalmology
What is Neuro Opthalmology?
Neuro-Ophthalmology is a specialized branch of ophthalmology that deals with vision problems related to the nervous system—especially the optic nerve, brain, and eye muscles.
These conditions may not originate in the eyes themselves, but rather in the brain, nerves, or muscles controlling eye function. Neuro-ophthalmologists work at the intersection of neurology and ophthalmology to diagnose and manage these complex disorders.
Causes of Neuro-Ophthalmic Disorders
Optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve)
Brain tumors or strokes
Multiple sclerosis (MS)
Myasthenia gravis
Thyroid eye disease
Aneurysms or head trauma
Increased intracranial pressure
Congenital nerve abnormalities
Treatment
Depends on the underlying cause, and may include:
Steroids or immunosuppressants
Treatment for associated neurological disorders
Vision therapy
Surgery in some cases (e.g., for nerve compression or eye movement disorders)
Multidisciplinary approach with neurologists and neurosurgeons
Diagnosis
Comprehensive neuro-ophthalmic evaluation
Visual field testing
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) of the optic nerve
Fundus photography
MRI/CT scan (in collaboration with neurologists)
Eye movement studies
Pupillary reflex and color vision testing
