Treating rare and complex vision conditions
Neuro-ophthalmology is a subspecialty of medicine that combines neurology, the study of the brain and central nervous system, with ophthalmology.
Symptoms
You may need to be assessed by a neuro-ophthalmologist if you have suspected optic nerve problems, unexplained vision loss, visual disturbances, abnormal eye movements or double vision.
A neuro-ophthalmology appointment is usually requested by your optometrist or another doctor.
There are many causes for neuro-ophthalmic symptoms which we will need to review as part of your appointment.
Neuro-ophthalmologists require specialised training and expertise to diagnose and treat visual problems related to the central nervous system.
In order to diagnose your condition, we will spend a lot of time with you to understand your symptoms, take a detailed medical history and perform diagnostic tests.
Some of the common tests include:
- eye alignment testing
- eye movement testing
- pupil, anterior and posterior segment testing
- full optic nerve functional assessment which includes visual acuity, colour vision and visual field tests
- tests of higher visual processing
- structural measures of the optic nerve and retina.
At Macquarie University Health Ophthalmology, we provide treatment for a wide range of neuro-ophthalmic conditions.
In some cases, these conditions are rare and complex, making the treatment process a lengthy one.
Given the wide variety of neuro-ophthalmic conditions there is no single risk factor or prevention. We will discuss these issues that are relevant to you at your appointment.
