Neuro-Ophthalmology Services – Advanced Eye & Brain Care

At Raahi Netradham Eye Hospital, our Neuro-Ophthalmology Services focus on diagnosing and managing complex conditions where vision problems are linked to the brain, optic nerve, and nervous system. Neuro-ophthalmology is a highly specialized branch of eye care that bridges neurology and ophthalmology, helping patients with unexplained vision loss, double vision, optic nerve disorders, and neurological eye symptoms.
Our expert specialists use advanced diagnostic technology, a multidisciplinary approach, and evidence-based treatments to accurately identify the root cause of vision problems and provide effective, personalized care.

Conditions Treated in Neuro-Ophthalmology

We provide comprehensive evaluation and management for a wide range of neuro-ophthalmic disorders, including:

  • Optic Neuritis – Inflammation of the optic nerve causing sudden vision loss
  • Papilledema – Swelling of the optic nerve due to increased brain pressure
  • Double Vision (Diplopia) – Caused by nerve palsies or brain-related conditions
  • Visual Field Defects – Loss of side or central vision due to brain or nerve damage
  • Cranial Nerve Palsies – Affecting eye movements and alignment
  • Headache-Related Vision Problems
  • Vision Loss of Neurological Origin
  • Tumors or Lesions Affecting Visual Pathways

Early diagnosis is critical, as many of these conditions may indicate underlying neurological or systemic diseases.

Common Symptoms That Need Neuro-Ophthalmic Evaluation

We use hospital-grade diagnostic tools to detect glaucoma early and monitor progression accurately:

  • Sudden or gradual loss of vision
  • Double vision or difficulty focusing
  • Eye movement problems
  • Drooping eyelids
  • Visual field loss
  • Headache with visual disturbances
  • Eye pain associated with vision loss

Warning: Ignoring these symptoms may delay diagnosis of serious neurological conditions.

Treatment & Management Approach

Treatment depends on the underlying neurological or eye-related cause and may include:

1
Medical Management
  • Steroid therapy for optic nerve inflammation
  • Medications for nerve-related eye movement disorders
  • Treatment of underlying systemic or neurological conditions
2
Multidisciplinary Care
  • Coordination with neurologists and neurosurgeons
  • Collaboration with physicians and radiologists
  • Long-term monitoring and structured follow-up
3
Vision Rehabilitation
  • Supportive care for permanent visual impairment
  • Guidance on visual aids and adaptive techniques
  • Lifestyle modification and patient counseling

Our goal is not only symptom relief but also long-term vision preservation and neurological safety through accurate diagnosis and comprehensive care.

5 Common Questions About Neuro-Ophthalmology

Neuro-ophthalmology is a specialized field that deals with vision problems related to the brain, optic nerve, and nervous system.
Symptoms include unexplained vision loss, double vision, eye movement problems, drooping eyelids, or visual field defects.
Conditions include optic neuritis, optic neuropathy, papilledema, cranial nerve palsies, visual field loss, and neurological causes of vision problems.
Diagnosis involves detailed eye and neurological examination, visual field testing, OCT scans, and when required, MRI or CT imaging.
Not always. Many conditions are treated with medications and monitoring. Surgery is required only in selected cases based on diagnosis.
