About Neuro-ophthalmology
Neuro-ophthalmology deals with vision problems caused by the brain and nerves rather than the eye itself, such as optic neuritis, double vision and swelling of the optic nerve.
Sudden vision loss, double vision or visual field loss needs urgent evaluation. Specialists work with neurologists and use MRI and visual tests to find the cause.
