Understanding Neuro Ophthalmology
Neuro ophthalmologists are highly trained physicians who bridge the gap between ophthalmology and neurology. They are experts in understanding how neurological conditions can affect vision, eye movements, and the optic nerve.
Conditions We Treat
- Optic Neuropathies: These conditions involve damage or inflammation of the optic nerve, which can lead to vision loss. We provide timely evaluation and management to prevent further damage.
- Visual Field Defects: Neuro ophthalmologists assess and manage visual field defects caused by conditions like brain tumors, strokes, or glaucoma.
- Double Vision (Diplopia): Double vision can result from various neurological issues. Our specialists determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.
- Pupillary Abnormalities: Neurological conditions can affect pupil size and reactivity. We diagnose and manage pupillary abnormalities to ensure optimal vision.
- Ocular Motility Disorders: We evaluate and treat disorders affecting eye movements, such as strabismus (crossed eyes) and nystagmus (involuntary eye movements).
- Headaches and Migraines: Some headaches are linked to eye or vision problems. Our neuro ophthalmologists identify the triggers and recommend effective treatments.
- Papilledema: Swelling of the optic nerve head can indicate elevated intracranial pressure. Early detection and management are crucial to prevent vision loss.
Advanced Diagnostic Tools
To provide the highest level of care, we utilize advanced diagnostic tools, including visual field testing, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and neuroimaging techniques like MRI and CT scans. These tools help us accurately assess your condition and develop a tailored treatment plan.
