Diagnosis & Treatment

Diagnosis of Neuro-Ophthalmologic Conditions

There are several tools and techniques our specialists may use to diagnose neuro-ophthalmologic conditions. These include:

  • Visual field test
  • Color test
  • Pupil reactivity
  • Optical electrophysiology test
  • Optical coherence tomography which allows doctors to look at the cornea and retina.
  • Evaluation of eye movements and ocular alignment
  • Imaging tests, such as a computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or an ultrasound
  • Visual acuity.

Some patients may also require a neurological evaluation.

Treatment of Neuro-Ophthalmologic Conditions

Treatment for neuro-ophthalmologic conditions will depend on the diagnosis, but may include:

  • Medical therapies
  • Botulinum toxin injections (Botox): Stop muscle spasm in conditions such as hemifacial spasm.
  • Surgery: Surgeries such as eye muscle surgery can help to restore eye alignment.
  • Laser surgery: Is used to treat a number of vision disorders.

Many of the treatments, including surgical procedures, for neuro-ophthalmologic conditions can be performed in an outpatient setting, and patients can return home the same day.
