Neuro-Ophthalmology
This subspecialty deals with diseases of the brain and central nervous system with manifestations in the eyes. For example, unexplained loss of visual acuity, peripheral (side) vision, pupillary abnormalities, double vision, numbness of the face, and twitching of facial and eyelid muscles might be in the purview of a neuro-ophthalmologist. Such conditions as brain tumors, neuro-degenerative processes, strokes, demyelinating disease, and muscle weakness conditions (myasthenia gravis) can have ocular symptoms.
