What is Neuro-Ophthalmology?

Neuroophthalmology is a specialised field that bridges the gap between neurology and ophthalmology. It primarily focuses on intricate systemic conditions that manifest within the visual system. One of its core concerns is the optic nerve, which transmits optical signals to the brain. This delicate nerve can be susceptible to damage from various factors such as infections, trauma, or other eye disorders impacting both ocular and cerebral functions. The Neuro-ophthalmology service evaluates patients experiencing a range of symptoms, including double vision caused by factors such as stroke, brain compressive lesions, or Myasthenia gravis. Additionally, it addresses visual impairments arising from neurological conditions like optic neuritis, field defects, pupillary abnormalities, and more.

    The staff is very polite and clearly explains everything. The Senior Dr.Bhushan Ghodke is very patient and gives enough time on explaining things technically to their patients. It was a nice experience being here and the best part was, it was free eye checkup camp but there was no compromises done with the quality pr service. Highly recommended it.

    I had an emergency visit and the receptionist Chaitali calmed me down immediately, took me to Dr. Pooja who quickly checked the damage to my eye, gave me appropriate eye drops and put a bandaid on me, within 15 mins of it all! Super quick & tender care.

    My eyes got infected due to a toxic reaction caused by some chemicals. Iksha eye care, and Doctor Pooja and her team were a relief to visit. The clinic is very hospitable, and within a week I got perfectly fine. The treatment suited me well, it is a must recommend place for any eye issues you may have. Also, very affordable.
