Beyond the Eye
Not all vision problems originate in the eye itself. Neuro-ophthalmology is an elite sub-specialty that bridges ophthalmology and neurology. It focuses on visual problems caused by the nervous system—specifically the optic nerve, which transmits visual information from the eye to the brain, and the areas of the brain that process that information.
Symptoms That Require Expert Evaluation
You should seek a neuro-ophthalmic consultation if you experience:
- Sudden, unexplained vision loss.
- Transient visual obscurations (temporary graying or blacking out of vision).
- Double vision (diplopia) that persists when looking with both eyes.
- Abnormal eye movements or unexplained pupil size differences.
- Visual field defects (missing patches of vision).
Conditions We Manage
With AIIMS-level training, Dr. Rajeswari provides rigorous diagnostic evaluations to uncover the root cause of complex symptoms. We manage and co-manage conditions such as:
- Optic Neuritis: Inflammation of the optic nerve, often associated with autoimmune conditions.
- Ischemic Optic Neuropathy: Loss of blood flow to the optic nerve.
- Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH): High pressure in the brain causing swelling of the optic nerve.
- Ocular Myasthenia Gravis: Causing drooping eyelids and double vision.
Because these conditions often overlap with neurological and systemic diseases, our approach is highly analytical, often requiring specialized scans (MRI/CT) and close collaboration with neurologists.
