Neuro-Ophthalmology

Neuro-ophthalmology deals with vision problems related to the nervous system, including conditions that affect the optic nerve and the brain’s visual pathways. Disorders such as optic neuritis, optic neuropathy, and visual field defects may indicate underlying neurological issues. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of eye exams, imaging studies, and tests to evaluate the brain and nerve pathways. Treatment can include medication, surgical procedures, or therapies designed to manage the underlying neurological condition, aiming to preserve vision and improve overall visual function. Early detection and intervention are key to preventing irreversible damage and vision loss.
