Neuro-Ophthalmology - Vision & Brain Connection
Understanding Neuro-Ophthalmology
Neuro-ophthalmology focuses on vision problems caused by neurological conditions affecting the brain, optic nerve, and eye movement control. These issues can result from strokes, tumors, nerve damage, or neurological disorders.
Common Conditions
- Optic Neuritis: Inflammation of the optic nerve causing vision loss.
- Double Vision (Diplopia): Misalignment of the eyes leading to double images.
- Unexplained Vision Loss: Sudden or gradual loss of vision without clear causes.
- Visual Field Defects: Blind spots or partial vision loss.
- Eyelid Abnormalities (Ptosis): Drooping eyelids affecting vision.
- Pupil Disorders: Irregular pupil size and response to light.
Diagnosis & Treatment
Neuro-ophthalmic conditions require specialized tests such as MRI, CT scans, visual field testing, and nerve function analysis. Treatment may include medications, vision therapy, or surgical intervention, depending on the underlying cause.
