Neuro ophthalmology

Neuro-ophthalmology is the branch of Ophthalmology that deals with diseases of the eye in relation to the nervous system. These fall into two major groups – Optic Nerve Diseases and Eye Movement Disorders.

Optic Nerve Diseases

The optic nerve is the only nerve in the body that can be directly examined by a doctor. It connects the eye to the brain. The optic nerve can be affected by Inflammation, Ischaemia (a stroke of the optic nerve), Compression, Raised intracranial pressure and Trauma.
