01
Reduced blood supply
Poor perfusion of the optic nerve or brain pathways can cause sudden or stepwise vision loss.
M G Eye Foundation/Services/Other Services
Other Services
Besides the main surgical services, M G Eye Foundation, Bara Gamharia, Jamshedpur, offers neuro-ophthalmology assessment, an optical shop and a pharmacy. DR KUMAR SAKET and DR MALAY KUMAR DWIVEDI examine vision problems that arise from the nervous system, then support the prescription with glasses and medicines on site.
What these services cover
Neuro-ophthalmology sits between neurology and ophthalmology. It deals with disease of the nervous system that affects vision, eye movement or the pupils. The optical shop dispenses spectacles matched to the clinical prescription. The pharmacy compounds and dispenses medicines prescribed after the visit.
When to come
Reasons to visit a neuro-ophthalmologist
These signs can affect children and adults. Sudden vision loss or unequal pupils need prompt examination.
02
Decreased or complete loss of vision
Unexplained vision drop, with a structurally quiet eye, raises the question of optic nerve or brain disease.
03
Unequal pupils
Anisocoria may be benign or may signal nerve or iris problem. Slow reactions are also recorded.
04
Double vision
Diplopia from cranial-nerve palsy or muscle disease is a core neuro-ophthalmic presentation.
05
Acute headaches
Headache with visual change, field loss or papilloedema needs fundus and field assessment.
06
Colour difficulty and glare
Poor colour discrimination and light intolerance can accompany optic neuropathy.
07
Visual field defects
Missing patches of side vision may come from glaucoma, stroke or compressive lesions.
08
Squint
A new squint in a child or adult may be muscular, refractive or neurological.
09
Compressive tumours
Masses along the visual pathway can slowly reduce acuity or field.
10
Visual hallucinations
Formed or unformed visual phenomena are investigated when the eye examination does not explain them.
How it presents
Symptoms
Neuro-ophthalmic disease may spare the front of the eye. The history and the disc, pupils and fields matter.
01
Sudden vision loss
Especially if painless, this can be optic nerve ischaemia or inflammation and should not wait.
02
Field defects
Bumping into objects on one side, or failing a driving field, points to pathway disease.
03
Pupil change
A pupil that does not react, or two pupils of different size, needs examination.
04
Double vision
Two images that separate more in one gaze direction suggest a nerve or muscle problem.
05
Colour desaturation
Red objects look washed out in one eye compared with the other in optic neuritis.
06
Need for new glasses or drops
After the medical visit, the optical shop and pharmacy complete the plan.
Treatment
Many neuro-ophthalmic conditions are managed with investigation and medicines. Surgery is reserved for selected problems such as adult strabismus or botulinum toxin for blepharospasm and hemifacial spasm. Optical dispensing and pharmacy sit beside the clinic so the family can complete glasses and drops without a second journey when stock allows.
Other services provided by us
01
Neuro-ophthalmology
This field combines neurology and ophthalmology. It deals with nervous-system disease that affects vision, control or movement of the eyes, or pupil abnormalities. Assessment includes conditions linked to raised pressure, inflammation and eye injury when the nerve or pathways are involved.
02
Optical shop
Spectacles are chosen for indoor or outdoor use and for the person’s work. Trained staff help match frames and lenses to the medical prescription and to comfort, including progressive and single-vision designs as advised.
03
Pharmacy
The pharmacy team dispenses medicines prescribed for the individual, with attention to how the drops or tablets are used and to important side effects that should be reported.
On-site equipment
Supportive diagnostics on site
ZEISS CIRRUS 500 OCT
Images the optic nerve and retina when swelling, atrophy or macular change must be documented.
Forus fundus camera
Photographs the disc and retina for comparison and for sharing findings with the family.
NIDEK ARK
Measures refractive error so glasses can be prescribed accurately after the medical examination.
Topcon lensometer
Checks existing spectacles in the optical workflow.
Neuro-ophthalmology FAQs
Questions patients ask
01What does a neuro-ophthalmologist do?
A neuro-ophthalmologist focuses on neurological problems that affect the eye and visual pathway.
02Do neuro-ophthalmologists perform surgeries?
Most conditions are treated with medicines. Surgery may be used in selected situations, including adult strabismus and botulinum toxin injections for blepharospasm or hemifacial spasm.
03What is the difference between a neuro-ophthalmologist and a neuro-optometrist?
A neuro-optometrist treats visual, perceptual and motor disorders that affect the visual system. A neuro-ophthalmologist is a medical specialist in neurology and ophthalmology who treats visual conditions caused by brain and nerve disease.
04Can neurological problems cause vision problems?
Yes. They may affect the eyelids and the muscles that move the eyes, and they may damage the optic nerve, causing partial or complete vision loss.
05What part of the brain controls the optic nerve pathway for seeing?
The occipital lobes are the main cortical area for vision.
06Can damage to the optic nerve be repaired?
Established optic-nerve fibre loss does not regenerate. Treatment aims to protect remaining function and treat the cause where that is possible.
