What is Neuro-Ophthalmology?
Neuro-ophthalmology is a medical specialty that focuses on vision problems related to the nervous system. It deals with disorders affecting the optic nerve, brain, and eye movement control, often caused by conditions like strokes, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, and migraines.

Treatment depends on the underlying cause of the condition and may include:
- Medications – Steroids, immunosuppressants, or other drugs for conditions like optic neuritis or myasthenia gravis.
- Surgery – For tumors, hydrocephalus, or nerve decompression.
- Vision Therapy – Exercises for double vision or eye movement disorders.
- Lifestyle Changes – Managing blood pressure, diabetes, or other risk factors.
- Botox Injections – For conditions like blepharospasm or strabismus.
