Neuro Ophthalmology Services
Price On RequestNeuro-ophthalmology is the subspecialty of both neurology and
ophthalmology concerning visual problems that are related to the nervous
system. A neuro-ophthalmologist is a physician (neurologist or ophthalmologist)
specializing in diseases affecting vision that originate from the
nervous system. Some commonly seen diseases that a neuro-ophthalmologist may see include
optic neuritis, optic neuropathy, papilledema, ocular myasthenia
gravis, brain tumors or stroke affecting vision, idiopathic intracranial
hypertension, unexplained visual loss, headaches, diplopia,
blepharospasm or hemifacial spasm. Some surgical neuro-ophthalmologist
may treat strabismus and perform eye muscle surgeries or optic nerve
fenestration surgery for the treatment of idiopathic intracranial
hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri). Other neuro-ophthalmologist may
treat blephrospam or hemifacial spasm using botulinum toxin injections.
Neuro-ophthalmologists are medical doctors who initially specialize in
either neurology, ophthalmology, or both, then do subspecialty training,
through fellowships, in the complementary field. They are usually
full-time faculty at large university-based medical centres, where they
also do research and teach but may be engaged in private practice. Their
referrals may come from neurologists, ophthalmologists,
endocrinologists, neurosurgeons and cardiologists.
Neuro-ophthalmologists typically attend to diseases of the afferent
visual system (most often involving the optic nerve), the efferent
visual system (that controls eye movements), or the pupillary reflexes.
What is Oculoplasty Services ?
Oculoplastic surgeons are ophthalmologists (eye doctors) who have
specialised in eyelid and facial plastic surgery. Oculoplastic surgeons
are trained to do many different types of eyelid and facial surgery,
ranging from simple eyelid malpositions to more complex reconstruction
involving the eyelids and surrounding forehead, temporal and cheek
areas. They understand the delicate anatomy and function of the eyelids
and their surrounding structures. As well as the eyelids, they
specialise in the lacrimal (tear) system, the orbit (bone cavity around
the eye), adjacent periocular (around the eyes) and facial structures
and the forehead and cheeks.
