WHAT IS NEURO-OPHTHALMOLOGY?
Neuro-Ophthalmology is a field that combines neurology and ophthalmology. It deals with visual problems related to the nervous system, particularly those affecting the optic nerve, eye movements, and brain areas responsible for vision. Neuro-ophthalmologists oversee the diagnosis and therapy of complicated neurological system disorders that impair vision, eye movements, and alignment, as well as pupillary reflexes.
When to seek help?
Visual symptoms can be categorized as either loss of vision or problems with eye movements. Permanent vision loss can occur due to problems with the optic nerve or its connections to the brain’s visual regions, which can be disrupted by conditions such as strokes, inflammation, multiple sclerosis, and tumours. If left untreated, disruption of brain pathways can lead to progressive and irreversible harm.
Common Symptoms Include:
- Rapid Impairment or Complete Loss of Vision
- Severe Temporary Eyesight Loss (A Transient Ischemic Attack or Eye Stroke)
- Hallucinations of Sight
- Diplopia (Dual Vision)
- Chronic Headaches
- Anomalies of the Papillae
- Colour Identification Issues
- Intolerance of Bright Lights
- Visual Field Flaws
- Squinting or Strabismus
Timely intervention and treatment are essential in the case of neuro-ophthalmology illnesses.
