Neuro - Ophthalmolgy Today Neuro-ophthalmology is the subspecialty of both neurology and ophthalmology concerning visual problem

Neuro-ophthalmologists care for patients with visual problems related to the nervous system. Neuro-ophthalmology requires specialized training and expertise in diseases involving the eye and the brain.It is one of newest specialities in Medical Science gaining popularity at rapid pace. It is a mix up of Medicine & surgery.Neuro - Ophthalmologist used to perform one of toughest surgery known on Optic Nerve & its surrounding. It is a subspecialty of both neurology and ophthalmology, and neuro-ophthalmologists are usually certified in neurology, ophthalmology, or both by Institute of excellence in higher learning. The scope of practice of neuro-ophthalmologists may vary tremendously depending on their background (whether certified in neurology or ophthalmology), and whether they perform surgery or not (ophthalmology is a surgical subspeciality, while neurology is not). In addition, a number of ophthalmology-trained neuro-ophthalmologists have additional training in oculoplastics or pediatric ophthalmology, allowing them to perform highly specialized surgical procedures. Neuro-ophthalmology is still a "young speciality" and its definition varies from a place to another. Indeed, the subject material is extremely broad and the clinical experiences are fragmented and heterogeneous. Only a few fellows are trained in neuro-ophthalmology each year, and their knowledge and experience vary depending on where and with whom they are trained. Not all residency programs have a detailed neuro-ophthalmology curriculum and very few medical schools include our speciality in their curriculum. The first step of such a plan of action is the development of a neuro-ophthalmology curriculum.This FB page is one step in that direction.

Concussion, particularly in relation to sports and combat activities, is increasingly recognized as a potential cause of both short- and long-term neurologic sequelae. This review will focus on the neuro-ophthalmologic findings associated with concussion, the current tests for concussion, and the potential for visual performance measures to improve our detection and assessment of concussions.
