Our Neuro-Ophthalmology Department specializes in diagnosing and managing the visual symptoms that arise from neurological and systemic disorders. Many conditions affecting the brain and nervous system can manifest in the eyes, and understanding these visual clues can be crucial for early diagnosis and effective treatment.
Neuro-ophthalmology is a unique sub-specialty that focuses on the connection between the eyes and the brain. Certain neurological conditions, such as intracranial tumors, optic neuropathies, and stroke, can present with subtle changes in vision that require expert evaluation. Through comprehensive clinical neuro-ophthalmological examinations, we can often uncover life-saving diagnoses that may otherwise be missed.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Tools for Accurate Assessment
We are fully equipped with advanced diagnostic tools to assess and monitor visual function in the context of neurological conditions:
● Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer: This state-of-the-art device is essential in measuring the entire scope of your vision, helping us identify any loss of peripheral vision or defects that may indicate neurological issues.
● Color Vision Testing: This is used to detect color vision abnormalities, which can sometimes be a sign of optic nerve or retinal problems, as well as neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis.
Our specialized team uses these tools to evaluate not only the health of your eyes but also their connection to the nervous system, ensuring that any underlying neurological issues are promptly identified and addressed.
