Neuro-ophthalmology and Adult Strabismus

What conditions do we treat?

Strabismus affects the way in which the eyes work together as a pair. This can cause a misalignment of the eyes and in many cases patients will experiences double vision.

Neuro –ophthalmology deals with neurological disorders affecting the pathways which connect the brain to the eyes. This can cause visual symptoms, perceptual difficulties and defects in the control of the eye movement systems.

What treatments do we offer?

There are a range of medical and surgical treatments that are used in the management of strabismus and neuro ophthalmological conditions. After any relevant tests have taken place the team will discuss the options available for individual patients.
