Neuro Ophthalmology

Illnesses or medical conditions that affect the eye-brain connection are treated by neuro-ophthalmologists. These specialists diagnose and treat disorders that affect the nerves and muscles in and around the eye.

Understanding Neuro-Ophthalmology

Neuro-ophthalmology bridges the fields of neurology and ophthalmology, focusing on diagnosing and treating conditions that impact the eye-brain connection. At Bajaj Eye Centre, we specialize in managing complex disorders that affect the nerves and muscles in and around the eyes. These conditions can lead to vision loss, double vision, or other symptoms that affect your quality of life.

Conditions We Treat

Our neuro-ophthalmology specialists are equipped to diagnose and manage a wide range of conditions, including:

1. Optic Neuritis
   Inflammation of the optic nerve can lead to sudden vision loss or blurring. Often associated with multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis requires prompt diagnosis and treatment.
2. Optic Neuropathy
   Damage to the optic nerve due to trauma, poor blood supply, or other underlying causes can significantly impact vision.
3. Papilledema
   Swelling of the optic disc, often due to increased pressure in the brain, requires careful evaluation to determine the root cause and prevent long-term complications.
4. Ocular Myasthenia Gravis
   This autoimmune disorder weakens the muscles controlling eye movements, causing symptoms like double vision and droopy eyelids.
5. Brain Tumors Affecting Vision
   Tumors in or near the brain can compress visual pathways, leading to vision changes that require expert intervention.
6. Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (Pseudotumor Cerebri)
   This condition involves elevated pressure in the brain without an identifiable cause, often presenting with headaches and vision problems.
7. Unexplained Visual Loss
   Sudden or gradual vision loss without a clear cause requires a thorough neuro-ophthalmic evaluation.
8. Headaches and Double Vision
   Persistent headaches and misalignment of the eyes can indicate underlying neurological or ophthalmic conditions.

Our Diagnostic Approach

At Bajaj Eye Centre, we combine advanced technology with expert clinical evaluation to provide accurate diagnoses and effective treatments. A variety of diagnostic studies are used to assess neuro-ophthalmic conditions, including:

• Visual Field Testing: To detect any blind spots or changes in peripheral vision.
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): A non-invasive imaging test that provides detailed views of the retina and optic nerve.
• CT and MRI Scanning: Advanced imaging techniques to visualize the brain, optic nerves, and surrounding structures.
• Color Flow Doppler Vascular Imaging: To evaluate blood flow in the vessels supplying the eyes and brain.
