Neuro-Ophthalmology

What is neuro-ophthalmology?

Neuro-ophthalmology focuses on vision problems related to the nervous system, particularly those involving the optic nerve, visual pathways, and the connection between the eyes and the brain. It combines aspects of ophthalmology and neurology to evaluate complex visual disorders.

What conditions does a neuro-ophthalmologist treat?

A neuro-ophthalmologist can evaluate unexplained vision loss, double vision, visual field abnormalities, problems with eye movements, pupil abnormalities, and optic nerve disorders. They may also evaluate visual symptoms associated with certain neurological conditions.

When should you see a neuro-ophthalmologist?

A specialized evaluation may be needed for sudden or unexplained vision loss, double vision, changes in the visual field, altered color perception, or abnormal eye movements. The specialist can help determine whether the problem originates in the eye, optic nerve, or nervous system.
