Ophthalmology

Neuro-Ophthalmology & Brain-Vision Interface

Neuro-ophthalmology bridges the gap between the nervous system and visual function, focusing on disorders that affect the optic nerve, visual pathways, and eye movement. This track will explore diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to conditions such as optic neuritis, papilledema, cranial nerve palsies, and visual field defects. Through case-based learning and interactive imaging reviews, participants will enhance their ability to interpret complex neuro-ophthalmic presentations. Experts will also discuss recent developments in neuroimaging technologies like MRI, OCT, and visual evoked potentials for diagnosing intracranial pathologies affecting vision. Attendees will gain insights into multidisciplinary management strategies involving neurologists, radiologists, and neurosurgeons. The track will also address the impact of systemic diseases like multiple sclerosis and diabetes on optic nerve health. By focusing on both foundational concepts and emerging innovations, this session offers a comprehensive understanding of neuro-ophthalmology’s evolving role in modern vision care. It’s an essential track for clinicians managing patients with overlapping ocular and neurological symptoms.
