Overview
Some vision problems come from the nerves and brain rather than the eye itself. Neuro-ophthalmology brings together eye and nerve expertise to diagnose and treat them.
Who it may help
- People with sudden vision loss or blurred vision
- People with double vision
- People with optic nerve swelling or inflammation
- People with drooping eyelids or unequal pupils
What the service includes
Detailed eye and nerve examination, visual field tests, brain imaging and treatment of the underlying cause.
What to expect
Several tests may be needed. Seek emergency care for sudden vision loss or double vision with weakness or headache.
