Vision problems are not always caused by the eyes alone. Sometimes, the brain and nervous system play a major role in how we see. Neuro-ophthalmology is the specialty that deals with vision issues related to the brain, optic nerves, and the connection between eyes and the nervous system.
At NR Vision Eye Care and Laser Center, Nallagandla, Hyderabad, our neuro-ophthalmology services focus on diagnosing and treating complex conditions where eye diseases overlap with neurological disorders. These problems are often missed in routine eye exams, making a specialist evaluation crucial.
Why Neuro-Ophthalmology Matters
Your eyes may be healthy, yet you may still experience:
- Double vision
- Sudden loss of vision
- Unexplained headaches
- Drooping eyelids
- Unequal pupils
- Visual field loss
These signs may indicate neurological problems affecting vision. Early diagnosis ensures proper treatment and prevents permanent vision loss.
Diagnostic Facilities:
We use advanced diagnostic tools to detect neuro-ophthalmic conditions:
- Visual field testing (perimetry)
- Fundus photography (optic nerve imaging)
- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) of the optic nerve
- Neuro-imaging guidance and referrals (MRI, CT scans when needed)
- Eye movement analysis
Common Conditions We Treat:
1. Optic Neuritis
Inflammation of the optic nerve leading to sudden vision loss, eye pain, and blurred vision. Often linked with multiple sclerosis.
2. Papilledema
Swelling of the optic nerve due to raised pressure inside the skull. It requires urgent treatment to prevent permanent vision loss.
3. Double Vision (Diplopia)
May result from nerve palsy, brain disorders, or eye muscle imbalances.
4. Stroke-Related Vision Problems
Patients recovering from stroke may have field defects or difficulty with eye movements.
5. Brain Tumor-Related Eye Problems
Tumors pressing on the optic nerves can cause vision changes, headaches, and double vision.
6. Myasthenia Gravis (Neuromuscular Disorder)
Causes drooping eyelids and variable double vision.
7. Visual Field Defects
Partial blindness or “blind spots” often linked with brain conditions.
Treatment Options Available
- Medications for optic neuritis, myasthenia gravis, and other conditions
- Prism glasses to correct double vision
- Surgical correction for eye movement disorders when required
- Neurology referrals for brain-related causes (we work closely with neurologists)
- Vision rehabilitation therapy for patients with permanent vision loss
faq
If you have unexplained vision loss, double vision, drooping eyelids, or visual field defects.
Yes, some neuro-ophthalmic conditions may be linked to brain diseases, stroke, or tumors. Early treatment is very important.
It depends on the cause. In some cases (like optic neuritis), vision may recover. In others, treatment can prevent further loss.
Yes, in certain cases, brain imaging helps identify the root cause of vision problems.
Not always. It may also occur due to squint or eye muscle problems, but evaluation is needed to rule out neurological causes.
