What is Neuro-Ophthalmology?
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.

Botulinum Toxin Injections: To restore muscle balance.

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.
