Our neuro-ophthalmology department focuses on diagnosing and treating problems directly related to nervous system including those affecting optic nerve, visual pathways in the brain and eye movements.
This specialty essentially bridges the field of
ophthalmology and neurology. Neuro- ophthalmology patients require multi-
disciplinary treatment, since it not only threatens vision but could also endanger life.
Common Symptoms of Neuro-Ophthalmology Disorders:
• A sudden decrease or total loss of vision.
• Visual hallucinations, where patients see things, shapes or silhouettes where there are none
• Diplopia (Double vision)
• Headaches without any seeming cause or plausible reason
• Abnormalities of the pupil (slow reaction, the difference in the size of the pupils)
• Difficulties in identifying colors or differentiating between them
Only a neuro-ophthalmologist can effectively identify the above symptoms and initiate
subsequent treatment of their causes. Neuro-ophthalmologists collaborate with many
other subspecialists, including neurologists, neurosurgeons, medical oncologists,
radiation oncologists and rheumatologists.
