Neuro-Ophthalmology

Neuro-ophthalmology focuses on the connection between the eyes and the brain, treating vision problems related to the nervous system. Conditions such as optic neuritis, optic neuropathy, and brain-related visual disturbances fall under this specialty. Treatment may involve medication to address underlying conditions, surgical procedures, or therapies designed to enhance the functioning of the optic nerve or address brain lesions affecting vision. Neuro-ophthalmologists work closely with neurologists and other specialists to diagnose and manage complex disorders that can affect eye movement, visual fields, and overall visual function.
