- 1. Neuro-ophthalmology is a medical subspecialty that focuses on the intricate interplay between the visual pathways and the brain. It involves the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of visual disorders that are related to the nervous system, such as optic nerve diseases, visual field defects, double vision, and abnormal eye movements. Neuro-ophthalmologists are specially trained to understand both the visual and neurological components of these complex conditions, utilizing a combination of clinical examination, imaging studies, and specialized testing to provide comprehensive care for patients with vision-related neurological disorders.
