Neuro-Ophthalmology Programme
Overview
Neuro-ophthalmology is a specialised field focusing on vision problems rooted in the nervous system, including the optic nerve, brain, and eye movement pathways. Because the eye is essentially an extension of the brain, disorders in these areas can impair how you see, process information, or control eye coordination.
At AKUH, our programme offers a multidisciplinary approach to ensure accurate diagnosis and advanced management for complex visual-neurological conditions.
Conditions We Treat
We provide expert care for a diverse range of neuro-ophthalmic disorders:
Optic nerve disorders: Including optic neuritis, ischemic optic neuropathy, and optic atrophy.
Visual pathway disorders: Vision loss or changes resulting from strokes, brain tumours, or lesions.
Double vision (diplopia): Resulting from cranial nerve palsies or neuromuscular issues.
Papilledema: Optic nerve swelling caused by increased pressure within the brain.
Neuro-degenerative conditions: Addressing the impact of progressive neurological diseases on vision.
Eye movement disorders: Such as nystagmus (involuntary shaking) and other gaze abnormalities.
Headache-related vision issues: Managing visual disturbances associated with migraines.
Neurological spasms: Specialised care for blepharospasms and hemifacial spasms.
