Neuro-ophthalmology is an academically-oriented subspecialty that merges the fields of neurology and ophthalmology, often dealing with complex systemic diseases that have manifestations in the visual system. Neuro-ophthalmologists initially complete a residency in either neurology or ophthalmology, then do a fellowship in the complementary field. Since diagnostic studies can be normal in patients with significant neuro-ophthalmic disease, a detailed medical history and physical exam is essential, and neuro-ophthalmologists often spend a significant amount of time with their patients.

The neuro-ophthalmology service takes care of patients with loss of vision, double vision, eye movement abnormalities, orbital syndromes, and ophthalmologic problems related but not limited to cerebro vascular diseases, tumor, head trauma, neurodegenerative diseases, infection, and inflammation. In addition to comprehensive clinical assessment of visual acuity, pupil, anterior and posterior segment, eye movement, and eye alignment. The Neuro-Ophthalmology Unit of the Nethra eye care specializes in patients with problems related to visual acuity, pupil, anterior and posterior segment, eye movement, and eye alignment.
