What do Neuro-ophthalmologists do?
Neuro-ophthalmology physicians diagnose and treat vision and eye movement problems caused by issues in the nervous system, such as those related to the brain, optic nerve, and eye muscles.
They specialize in complex conditions like optic nerve disorders, double vision, visual field loss, and vision changes due to strokes or brain tumors.
Neuro-ophthalmologists collaborate closely with other medical professionals, such as neurologists, ophthalmologists, and neurosurgeons, to provide comprehensive care for patients with neuro-ophthalmological conditions.
What they do
Diagnose and treat neurological vision problems: They evaluate and manage a wide range of conditions that affect the visual system, including optic neuritis, and conditions that cause double vision or abnormal eye movements.
Investigate unexplained vision loss: They are often called upon to find the cause of vision loss that has no obvious eye-related reason.
Work with other medical specialists: They collaborate with other neurologists and ophthalmologists to treat complex cases.
Perform specific medical procedures: Although primarily non-procedural, they may be trained to perform procedures such as botulinum injections for eyelid spasms or eye muscle surgery to correct strabismus.
Common conditions treated
Other conditions: They also see patients with thyroid eye disease, unequal pupil size, and specific eyelid problems like ptosis and blepharospasm.
Optic nerve issues: This includes optic neuritis, optic neuropathy, papilledema (swelling of the optic nerve), and tumors affecting the optic nerve.
Brain and neurological conditions: They treat vision problems resulting from strokes, brain injuries, brain tumors, and high intracranial pressure.
Muscle and nerve disorders: They manage conditions like myasthenia gravis that affect eye muscles and cause issues with eye movement.
Common diagnostic tests
Eye exams: To assess vision, eye movements, and pupil size.
Visual field tests: To map out the patient’s field of vision.
Imaging studies include CT scans and MRIs.
Treatment options
Medications: To reduce inflammation, improve eye movements, or treat autoimmune disorders.
Surgery: To remove tumors, repair damaged eye muscles, or relieve pressure on the optic nerve.
Vision rehabilitation: To help patients cope with vision loss or eye movement disorders.
