Neuro-Ophthalmology

“Where the eye meets the brain. Expert diagnosis and care for vision problems related to the nervous system.”

Sometimes, vision loss or eye pain isn’t a problem with the eye itself, but with the optic nerve or the way the brain processes what we see. At Care Vision, we bridge the gap between ophthalmology and neurology to find answers for complex vision issues.

What is it?

Neuro-ophthalmology is a sub-specialty that focuses on diseases affecting the optic nerve (the “cable” connecting the eye to the brain) and the parts of the brain that control vision and eye movements. If your eyes appear healthy but your vision is still poor or distorted, the cause may be neurological.

Who is it suitable for?

  • Double Vision: If you see two of everything when both eyes are open.
  • Sudden Vision Loss: Especially if it is accompanied by pain when moving your eyes.
  • Optic Neuritis: Patients dealing with inflammation of the optic nerve.
  • Brain-Related Issues: People who have had a stroke, a head injury, or have been diagnosed with conditions like Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or high intracranial pressure.
  • Unexplained Blurring: If your vision is blurry but a standard eye check-up shows your eye “structure” is perfect.

What does it involve?

Dr. Mukherjee performs a detailed “detective-style” evaluation to find the root cause of your symptoms:

  1. Optic Nerve Assessment: Checking for swelling, paleness, or damage to the nerve head.
  2. Pupil Reaction Testing: Seeing how your pupils react to light, which tells us a lot about nerve health.
  3. Color Vision & Contrast Test: Checking if colors look “washed out,” which is a common sign of nerve issues.
  4. Eye Movement Coordination: Evaluating how the eyes move together to find the cause of double vision.
  5. Visual Field Analysis: Mapping out “blind spots” that might be caused by pressure on the visual pathways in the brain.

Are there any risks?

The evaluation itself is completely safe and non-invasive.

  • Patience is Key: Because these cases are complex, the first exam may take longer than a standard check-up. We ask that you bring any previous MRI or CT scan reports with you.
  • Specialized Care: In some cases, Dr. Mukherjee may work closely with a Neurologist to ensure you get a “full-body” treatment plan.
  • Reassurance: Many nerve-related vision issues can be treated effectively with medication if caught early.
