Neuro-ophthalmology Services

The Neuro-Ophthalmology Clinic at M.N. Eye Hospital specializes in diagnosing and managing complex visual problems that are linked to the nervous system. Since vision is closely connected to the brain, certain eye conditions arise not from the eye itself, but from the optic nerve, brain, or nerves controlling eye movements. This specialty bridges neurology and ophthalmology to provide accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment.

Sudden or unexplained vision loss
Optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve)
Papilledema (swelling of the optic nerve head due to raised brain pressure)
Double vision (diplopia)
Ocular motility disorders – abnormal eye movements, squint, or misalignment
Visual field defects due to stroke, brain tumors, or head injury
Ptosis (drooping eyelids of neurological origin)
Nystagmus (involuntary eye movements)
Visual symptoms associated with systemic neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis or myasthenia gravis

Investigations & Facilities

Detailed visual field analysis
OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) for optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber evaluation
Neuro-imaging coordination (MRI / CT scans as needed)
Ocular motility and strabismus evaluation

Treatment & Management

Medical management of optic nerve disorders (e.g., steroids for optic neuritis)
Non-surgical and surgical treatment for double vision / strabismus
Botox injections for certain eye movement disorders
Management of visual problems secondary to neurological disease (stroke, tumors, MS, etc.)
Multidisciplinary care with neurologists and neurosurgeons when required
Patient counseling and rehabilitation for chronic neuro-ophthalmic conditions

What Is Neuro-ophthalmology?

It is a subspecialty that deals with vision problems caused by neurological conditions rather than diseases of the eye itself.

When Should I See A Neuro-ophthalmologist?

If you experience sudden loss of vision, double vision, unexplained headaches with vision changes, or eye movement abnormalities, you should consult a neuro-ophthalmologist.

Will I Need Brain Scans?

Not always. Depending on your symptoms and eye findings, your doctor may recommend an MRI or CT scan to look at the brain and visual pathways.

Is The Treatment Only Surgical?

No. Many conditions are managed medically or with simple measures such as prisms for double vision. Surgery is considered only when necessary.

Post operative period

The patient can get admitted on the day of surgery and return home the same day evening. Advice on eye drops applying will be given and the patient must review with the ophthalmologist on a weekly basis or as per the advice of the ophthalmologist.

Can Children Have Neuro-ophthalmology Problems?

Yes. Children with squint, congenital optic nerve issues, or developmental neurological conditions may require specialized neuro-ophthalmic care.
