Consult a neuro-ophthalmologist if you experience any of the following visual or neurological symptoms:

• Sudden or unexplained loss of vision in one or both eyes
• Double vision or misalignment of the eyes
• Abnormal movements of the eyes (nystagmus)
• Drooping eyelids (ptosis) or unequal pupil sizes
• Visual field defects or blind spots
• Headache or pain behind the eyes associated with visual disturbances

Neuro-ophthalmic disorders may arise from various underlying neurological or systemic conditions. These include:

• Optic Neuritis: Inflammation of the optic nerve often linked to multiple sclerosis or autoimmune diseases.
• Ischemic Optic Neuropathy: Sudden vision loss caused by reduced blood flow to the optic nerve.
• Papilledema: Swelling of the optic disc due to increased intracranial pressure.
• Ocular Myasthenia Gravis: Autoimmune condition causing fluctuating drooping of eyelids and double vision.
• Third, Fourth, and Sixth Nerve Palsies: Eye movement abnormalities leading to diplopia (double vision).
• Brain Tumors or Aneurysms: Structural lesions compressing visual pathways.

Neuro-ophthalmic conditions require precise evaluation and coordinated management. Dr. Tekchandani offers a holistic diagnostic and treatment protocol, which includes:

• Comprehensive Eye & Neurological Examination: Including visual field testing, color vision, and pupil reflex assessment.
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): To analyze optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layers in detail.
• Neuroimaging (MRI / CT Scan): To detect structural brain or optic pathway abnormalities.
• Targeted Medical Therapy: Use of corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or neuroprotective agents as required.
• Surgical Management: In select cases such as optic nerve decompression or correction of ocular misalignment, using No Stitch, No Patch, No Injection micro-techniques wherever suitable.

Key Advantage: Each patient receives personalized care integrating ophthalmic and neurological expertise for accurate diagnosis and long-term vision preservation.

Though not all neuro-ophthalmic conditions can be prevented, these measures help maintain optic nerve health and neurological wellness:

• Maintain optimal blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol levels.
• Adopt a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and antioxidant-rich diet.
• Protect your head and eyes from trauma during physical activities.
• Undergo timely eye and neurological check-ups if you have autoimmune or vascular diseases.

• Extensive training in managing optic nerve and brain-related visual disorders.
• Access to advanced neuro-imaging and diagnostic technologies for precision evaluation.
• Integrated management in coordination with neurologists, radiologists, and neurosurgeons.
• Minimally invasive treatment protocols ensuring No Stitch, No Patch, No Injection comfort where applicable.
• Focused on long-term neuro-visual rehabilitation and patient-centric care.
