Neuro Ophthalmology

Neuro-ophthalmology is a subspecialty of both neurology and ophthalmology that deals with visual problems related to the nervous system. It focuses on the relationship between the eye and the brain, particularly concerning how the brain processes visual information.

Neuro-ophthalmologists diagnose and treat conditions that affect the visual pathways, which can include the optic nerve, optic chiasm, and areas of the brain responsible for vision. These conditions can result from various neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, brain tumors, strokes, or conditions affecting the optic nerve like optic neuritis.

Patients with neuro-ophthalmic disorders often present with symptoms such as vision loss, double vision, abnormal eye movements, or visual field defects. The field requires a deep understanding of both neurology and ophthalmology to effectively diagnose and manage these complex conditions.
