neuro-ophthalmology
Vision-brain disorder specialty
Neuro-ophthalmology is the medical specialty concerned with visual problems that originate in the nervous system rather than the eye itself.
It bridges neurology and ophthalmology, addressing conditions like optic nerve damage, double vision from nerve palsies, and visual disturbances caused by strokes or tumors: The patient was referred to neuro-ophthalmology after experiencing sudden vision loss with no apparent eye disease.
