Understanding Neuro-Ophthalmology: Bridging Eyes and Brain

Dr. Dhrubbojyoti Saaha at Total Retina Eye Care in Dhantoli, Nagpur, elucidates the essence of neuro-ophthalmology and its clinical implications.

Causes of Neuro-Ophthalmic Conditions: The optic nerve serves as the conduit between the eye and brain, transmitting visual signals from the retina to the brain for interpretation.

Symptoms and Conditions: Neuro-ophthalmologists specialize in diagnosing and treating a myriad of conditions impacting the nerve pathways linking eyes to the brain.

These may manifest as: Unexplained vision loss Optic nerve disorders like neuritis, neuropathy, or atrophy Abnormal eye movements (nystagmus) Variations in pupil size (Horner syndrome, Adie pupil) Eye and vision issues stemming from brain injuries or diseases such as stroke, trauma, or multiple sclerosis
