At Navjyoti Superspeciality Eye Hospital, situated in Kankarbagh, Bihar, we provide specialised neuro-ophthalmology services for diagnosing and treating vision issues related to the nervous system. Neuro-ophthalmology is a medical speciality that bridges the neurology and ophthalmology gap, dealing with problems that involve the brain, optic nerve, and eye movements.
Whether you are dealing with double vision, optic nerve disorders, or unexplained vision loss, our expert team uses the latest technology and evidence-based practices to create compelling, personalised treatment plans.
Neuroophthalmology is concerned with disorders of the nervous system related to vision problems, including disorders affecting the brain, optic nerves, and muscles that control the movement of the eyes. These require a multidisciplinary approach using advanced diagnostics and collaboration among neurologists and specialists.
Conditions treated by neuro-ophthalmologists include:
Optic Neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve).
Double Vision is caused by nerve or muscle dysfunction.
Papilledema: swelling of the optic nerve due to increased pressure inside the skull.
Loss of vision due to a stroke or tumour.
Myasthenia Gravis is a condition that deteriorates the muscles responsible for eye movement.
Neurological diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis may affect vision.
Our highly trained neuro-ophthalmologists work to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and begin treatment to maintain or restore your vision and quality of life.
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, it is crucial to consult a neuro-ophthalmology specialist:
Vision changes over hours/days/weeks.
Abrupt vision loss.
Trouble with eye movements/focusing.
Severe/persistent headaches with vision.
Visual field defects (any blind spots).
Swollen or painful eyes.
Proper diagnosis and treatment done in time can avoid serious complications and better results in the future.
At Navjyoti Superspeciality Eye Hospital, we incorporate advanced diagnostic tools to ascertain and assess neuro-ophthalmic conditions. It includes:
MRI and CT Scans to detect abnormalities in the brain or optic pathways.
Visual Field Testing to test the peripheral vision and spot blind spots.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for in-depth imaging of the optic nerve and retina.
Electrodiagnostic Tests measure the electrical activity of the visual system.
Blood tests help identify the cause, especially autoimmune or inflammatory processes causing vision loss.
Our state-of-the-art diagnostics allow us to diagnose neuro-ophthalmic conditions with precision and in a timely manner so that appropriate treatment plans can be developed.
Our neuro-ophthalmic treatment is directed both at the cause and symptoms of conditions. Among the most popular treatments we provide are;
Optic neuritis is an inflammation of the optic nerve that may cause pain and loss of vision. It is often associated with autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Steroid Treatment: Given intravenously or orally to decrease inflammation and enhance recovery of vision.
Follow-up: To monitor for progression to neurological diseases such as MS.
Treatment of Double Vision
Double vision, or diplopia, is caused by muscle or nerve problems.
Prism Lenses: To correct vision.
Botulinum Toxin Injections: To restore muscle balance.
Surgery: To correct muscle misalignment once and for all.
Papilledema is swelling of the optic nerve often due to high intracranial pressure. Treatment lies in relieving this pressure. It may include:
Medications like diuretics to remove excess fluids.
Surgical Interventions: Like placing shunts to relieve pressure.
Treatment of conditions that cause the problem, like tumours or infections.
Stroke of the visual pathways can cause partial or total vision loss. Treatments include:
Vision Rehabilitation Therapy: To help patients adapt to visual field defects.
Managing underlying conditions such as hypertension or diabetes to prevent further strokes.
This condition causes muscle weakness, including muscles controlling eye movement and eyelids. Treatment options include:
Medications to improve muscle strength.
Surgery (Thymectomy) for some cases.
Plasmapheresis or IVIG for severe symptoms.
