Neuro ophthalmology is a subspecialty of ophthalmology that focuses on visual problems related to the nervous system. It involves the evaluation and management of visual disturbances that are associated with neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, brain tumors, and stroke. The field also covers a wide range of eye conditions that affect the optic nerve, extraocular muscles, and eyelids, among others.

Neuro ophthalmologists are specialized eye doctors who have undergone additional training in neurology and ophthalmology. They work closely with other medical specialists, such as neurologists, neurosurgeons, and radiologists, to provide comprehensive care to patients with complex neuro ophthalmic conditions.

Some common conditions that neuro ophthalmologists manage include optic neuritis, papilledema, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, double vision, nystagmus, and eye movement disorders. Diagnostic tests that are often used in the evaluation of neuro ophthalmic disorders include visual field testing, optical coherence tomography (OCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) scans. Treatment approaches vary depending on the underlying cause of the condition and may include medications, surgery, or referral to other medical specialists for further evaluation and management.
