Neurological Eye Conditions

Exploring Neurological Conditions of the Eye

Our providers diagnose and treat conditions related to the nervous system of the eye.

Covering the Basics

Possible problems you may be experiencing that need evaluation include injury to the brain and/or optic nerves – which transmit visual signals from the eyes to the brain. This includes treatment for loss of vision that may be caused by trauma, inflammation, strokes, tumors, toxicity, and infections.

Symptoms You Don’t Want to Overlook

Patients who have any loss of visual acuity, visual field, or color vision due to a problem with the brain or optic nerves should be evaluated and treated as soon as possible. Some of the typical disorders include:

Optic neuritis
Papilledema
Ocular myasthenia gravis
Visual field loss due to tumor, stroke, or any unexplained vision loss
Double vision
Headaches
Nystagmus (shaking eyes)
Disorders of the eyelids and pupils such as eyelid or facial spasm

Cataracts

Cataracts occur when there is a clouding of your eye’s natural lens. Most people correlate cataracts with aging, but they are sometimes proven to be derived from other factors.

Cornea

The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped part of the eye and plays a significant role in the focus and clarity of vision.

Glaucoma

The optic nerve carries information from the eye to the brain, so when the optic nerve is impaired, you can lose your vision. The term Glaucoma encompasses a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve.

Pediatrics

A child’s first 10 years of life are the most crucial for the development of their visual system. Due to the rapid vision development taking place during childhood, it is very important to detect and treat any vision problems as early as possible.
