Neuro-Ophthalmology

Neuro-ophthalmology is a branch of medicine that examines the relationship between the eye and the nervous system and deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases in this area. The optic nerves, their connections to the brain, and all stages of the visual pathway fall within the scope of neuro-ophthalmology. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kübra Şerefoğlu, as a doctor specializing in neuro-ophthalmology, offers modern and effective treatment methods to her patients.

Neuro-Ophthalmological Diseases and Their Symptoms

Neuro-ophthalmologic diseases occur when the central nervous system and optic nerves are affected. These diseases include optic neuritis, optic nerve compression, migraine-related vision problems, and brain tumors. Common symptoms include:

• Loss of vision or blurred vision
• Narrowing of the visual field
• Double vision (diplopia)
• Limited or painful eye movements
• Flashes of light or dark spots in the field of vision

When these symptoms are noticed, it is necessary to consult a neuro-ophthalmologist without delay.

Diagnosis of Neuro-Ophthalmological Diseases

Diagnosis of neuro-ophthalmological diseases requires a detailed eye and neurological examination. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kübra Şerefoğlu uses the latest technological devices and methods in the diagnosis process. Among the tests performed in this process:

• Visual acuity and visual field tests
• Evaluation of eye movements
• Optic nerve and retina scans (OCT)
• Brain and eye MRI/CT imaging

Treatment Methods for Neuro-Ophthalmological Diseases

• Drug Therapy: Drug therapy plays an important role in the treatment of neuro-ophthalmological diseases. Corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory drugs and immunosuppressive agents are frequently used. These drugs are effective in reducing neuroinflammation and stopping the progression of the disease.
• Surgical intervention: Surgical intervention may be required in cases such as optic nerve compression or brain tumors. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kübra Şerefoğlu accelerates the recovery process of patients by using advanced technologies and minimally invasive techniques for such surgical procedures.
• Visual Rehabilitation: Visual rehabilitation programs are applied to patients who have vision loss. These programs aim to provide patients with the skills necessary to continue their daily life activities.
• Multidisciplinary Approach: A multidisciplinary approach is adopted in the treatment of neuro-ophthalmological diseases. Ophthalmologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons and physiotherapists cooperate to ensure that patients achieve the best treatment results.
