Exploring the Vision-Brain Connection: Neuro-Ophthalmology Services in Mumbai

The eyes and the brain work to enable clear vision, making the relationship between these vital organs incredibly complex. Disorders affecting the neural pathways or structures involved in vision can lead to various visual disturbances and eye-related symptoms.

At Raghunath Netralaya in Mumbai, our team of neuro-ophthalmology specialists is dedicated to diagnosing and treating these intricate conditions, bridging the gap between ophthalmology and neurology.

What Is Neuro-Ophthalmology?

Neuro-ophthalmology is a subspecialty of ophthalmology that focuses on evaluating and managing visual problems arising from diseases or disorders affecting the nervous system, including the brain, optic nerves, and related structures. This field integrates knowledge from ophthalmology and neurology to provide comprehensive care for patients with vision-related neurological conditions.

• Optic Neuropathies: Disorders affecting the optic nerve, such as optic neuritis, ischemic optic neuropathy, and compressive optic neuropathy.

• Visual Field Defects: Impairments in the field of vision due to neurological conditions like strokes, brain tumors, or trauma.
