When Vision Changes, You Need More Than an Eye Exam.
What is a Neuro-ophthalmologist?
Neuro-ophthalmologists are highly specialized doctors with training in both neurology and eye care. These skilled doctors diagnose and treat neurological disorders that affect your vision, including brain tumors, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, optic neuropathy, optic neuritis, and various neurodegenerative disorders. Neuro-ophthalmologists also evaluate patients with vision changes and related symptoms such as blurred vision, double vision, vision loss, eye movement abnormalities, and drooping eyelids. These symptoms may originate from the brain, optic nerves, or other nervous system anatomy and often require specialized evaluation.
