Neuro-ophthalmology is a specialized field that focuses on the relationship between the eyes and the brain, specifically how neurological disorders affect vision and eye movements. It combines elements of both neurology and ophthalmology to diagnose and treat conditions where vision problems are linked to the nervous system, including the brain, optic nerve, and muscles controlling eye movement. Common conditions managed by neuro-ophthalmologists include optic neuritis, papilledema, ocular migraines, double vision, visual field loss, and disorders like multiple sclerosis or stroke that impact vision. The field aims to address complex issues that lie at the intersection of eye health and brain function.
