Neuro-ophthalmology

Neuro-ophthalmology is an ophthalmic subspecialty that addresses the relationship between the eye and the brain, specifically disorders of the optic nerve, orbit, and brain, associated with visual symptoms.

Neuro-ophthalmologists provide comprehensive clinical care to a broad spectrum of patients with visual disturbance from optic nerve diseases, central nervous system disorders, ocular motility dysfunction, and pupillary abnormalities.

Some commonly seen disorders that a neuro-ophthalmologist may see include optic neuritis, optic neuropathy, optic disc edema, ocular myasthenia gravis, brain tumors or stroke affecting vision, idiopathic intracranial hypertension or pseudotumor cerebri, unexplained visual loss, headaches and double vision.

The physicians at Columbia Ophthalmology Consultants collaborate with neurologist from Columbia University Medical Center to provide the most advanced responses and medical treatments available to any neuro-ophthalmological challenge.
