neuroophthalmology

Neuro-ophthalmology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the connection between the eyes and the nervous system. It examines how the brain affects vision, including issues like double vision, blurry vision, or vision loss that stem from neurological conditions. Neuro-ophthalmologists diagnose and treat problems caused by brain injuries, strokes, tumors, or diseases like multiple sclerosis that impact vision and eye movement. By understanding both the eye and the brain, they work to find solutions for complex visual problems that regular eye doctors may not diagnose.
