At
Neuro-ophthalmic Consultants Northwest, we provide care for patients
who have visual problems such as diplopia and partial loss of vision
that are or may be due to disorders of the nervous system, and not due
to disorders of the eyes themselves.
Patients
referred to us may present with blurred vision, loss of vision, double
vision, difficulty tracking with the eyes, vertigo, drooping eyelids,
eye pain, changes in their pupils, and other visual symptoms. The
potential causes of these problems vary widely, ranging from benign but
bothersome migraines, to serious conditions such as brain tumors.
Examples of these disorders include stroke, multiple sclerosis, thyroid
eye (Graves’) disease, myasthenia gravis, physical trauma, and eyelid
or facial spasm. |
