26^th Global Ophthalmologists Annual Meeting

Neuro-Ophthalmology: Bridging Neurology and Ophthalmology

Neuro-ophthalmology serves as the nexus between neurology and ophthalmology, addressing conditions where the visual system and neurological pathways intersect. It encompasses a spectrum of disorders affecting vision, eye movements, and the optic nerves, often indicative of underlying neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, strokes, or tumors affecting the brain or optic nerves. Diagnosis requires specialized evaluation techniques including visual field testing, neuroimaging such as MRI or CT scans, and electrophysiological studies. Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach, integrating neurologists and ophthalmologists to manage complex cases, optimize visual outcomes, and address neurological manifestations impacting vision and eye movements.
