At Pink City Eye & Retina Center, we specialize in managing a range of conditions under the neuro-ophthalmology specialty. Some of the key disorders include:

1. Paralytic Squint (Nerve Palsy–Related Eye Deviation)

A paralytic squint occurs when one or more cranial nerves (typically the 3rd, 4th, or 6th nerve) controlling eye movements become weak or paralyzed. This leads to eye misalignment and double vision. Causes may include diabetes, hypertension, trauma, infections, or brain lesions.
🔍 Treatment: Includes prism glasses, eye muscle surgery, and treating the underlying cause.

2. Optic Nerve Swelling / Papilledema

This occurs when the optic nerve head swells due to elevated pressure within the brain. It may be associated with brain tumors, infections, or idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).
⚠️ Symptoms: Blurred vision, headaches, nausea, transient visual obscurations.
🧠 Diagnosis: Fundus exam, OCT, visual field test, and brain imaging.
🩺 Treatment: Focused on relieving brain pressure and protecting optic nerve health.

3. Optic Neuropathies

These conditions involve damage or inflammation of the optic nerve, stemming from various causes like optic neuritis, ischemic optic neuropathy, or injuries from toxins or trauma.
🔎 Symptoms: Sudden vision loss, pain on eye movement, and visual field defects.
🧪 Diagnosis & Treatment: Blood tests, MRI, and steroids/immunotherapy based on the cause.

4. Neuroretinitis

This is a rare condition involving inflammation of both the optic nerve and the retina, usually caused by infections (e.g., cat-scratch disease).
👁️‍🗨️ Signs: Blurred vision, macular star appearance on retina, and optic disc swelling.
🩺 Management: Involves treating the underlying infection and supportive eye care.

5. Nystagmus

This is the term for uncontrolled, repetitive eye movements that can lead to blurred vision and difficulty focusing. It can be present from birth or develop later due to neurological issues such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, or inner ear disorders.

 📌 Treatment: May involve glasses, medication, surgery, or therapy to reduce intensity.

6. Eye Movement Disorders

This includes a broad range of conditions where normal eye coordination is disrupted, often due to nerve palsy, muscle disorders, or neurological diseases like Parkinson’s or Myasthenia Gravis.
🔬 Evaluation: Neurological assessment and imaging to find the exact cause.
🛠️ Management: Tailored to the cause—may include medication, vision therapy, or surgery.
