There is a very broad spectrum of diseases, and they vary greatly depending on the level at which each one affects them, and therefore, the range of patients who can be consulted is also very diverse.
In neuro-ophthalmology, we may have young patients with Multiple Sclerosis, which is a systemic, generalized disease that can produce an outbreak of inflammation in the Central Nervous System and also cause inflammation in the optic nerve, resulting in vision loss. Patients may initially consult an ophthalmologist.
Hasta pacientes de mayor edad con otras enfermedades diversas como podrian ser algunos tumores con un crecimiento lento, que pueden afectar tanto a la via óptica, al nervio óptico , así como a las zonas del cerebro que se encargan de la visión.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][inwave_heading preview_style_1=”” title=”{Enfermedades relacionadas con la Neurooftalmología}” sub_title=”Los más frecuentes son:” align=”center”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner gap=”35″][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][inwave_item_info style=”style1_4″ preview_style4=”” title=”{Alteraciones Pupilares}” description=”De diferente origen,en el tamaño, en la forma y también pueden ser notadas de manera brusca o aveces son desapercibidas por el paciente.” icon_size=”100″ align=”center” img=”3143″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][inwave_item_info style=”style1_4″ preview_style4=”” title=”{Dolor ocular con perdida de visión}” description=”Hay muchas causas que son diagnósticadas por el Neurooftalmólogo y que producen este problema” icon_size=”100″ align=”center” img=”3144″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][inwave_item_info style=”style1_4″ preview_style4=”” title=”{Alteraciones en los movimiento del Ojo}” description=”Pueden ser congénitos o adquiridos, parálisis en el movimiento de los ojos.” icon_size=”100″ align=”center” img=”3145″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner gap=”35″][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][inwave_item_info style=”style1_4″ preview_style4=”” title=”{Perdida visual inexplicada}” description=”No hay una causa evidente de por qué el paciente se queja de mala visión” icon_size=”100″ align=”center” img=”3140″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][inwave_item_info style=”style1_4″ preview_style4=”” title=”{Defectos del Campo Visual}” description=”Hay pérdidas de campo visual,no relacionadas con glaucoma y que se confunden con esta otra enfermedad” icon_size=”100″ align=”center” img=”3141″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][inwave_item_info style=”style1_4″ preview_style4=”” title=”{Diplopia o Visión Doble}” description=”Esta condición puede ser de inicio brusco o instauración progresiva” icon_size=”100″ align=”center” img=”3142″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][inwave_heading preview_style_1=”” title=”{Enfermedades relacionadas con Neurooftalmología}” sub_title=”Hay muchas enfermedades propias de la córnea, tanto hereditarias como adquiridas.

Los síntomas comunes de la neuritis óptica incluyen dolor con el movimiento del ojo y pérdida temporal de la visión en un ojo.
Signs and symptoms of optic neuritis may be the first indication of multiple sclerosis, or they may appear later.. Multiple sclerosis is a disease that causes inflammation and damage to the nerves in the brain and optic nerve.[/vc_column_text][inwave_accordions layout=”accordion2″ preview_style2=”” item_active=”-1″][inwave_accordion_item title=”Symptoms”]Optic neuritis usually affects only one eye, symptoms may include:
Pain. Most people with optic neuritis experience eye pain that worsens with eye movement. Sometimes, this is felt as a dull ache behind the eye.
Loss of vision in one eye. Most people experience at least a temporary reduction in vision, but the degree of loss varies. Noticeable vision loss usually occurs over the course of hours or days and improves over several weeks or months. Vision loss is permanent in some people.
Loss of visual field. Side vision loss can occur in any pattern, such as central vision loss or peripheral vision loss.
Loss of color vision (chromatic). Optic neuritis often affects color perception. You may notice that colors appear less vivid than normal.
Bursts of light. Some people with optic neuritis report seeing flashing or flashing lights with eye movements.[/inwave_accordion_item][inwave_accordion_item title=”Treatment”]Optic neuritis usually gets better on its own. In some cases, steroid medications are used to reduce inflammation of the optic nerve. Possible side effects of steroid treatment include weight gain, mood changes, facial flushing, stomach upset, and insomnia.
Steroid treatment is usually administered intravenously. Intravenous steroid therapy speeds vision recovery, but it does not appear to affect the amount of vision recovered for typical optic neuritis.
Cuando la terapia con esteroides fracasa y persiste la pérdida grave de la visión, un tratamiento llamado terapia de intercambio plasmático podría ayudar a algunas personas a recuperar la visión.[/inwave_accordion_item][/inwave_accordions][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”DIPLOPIA – VISIÓN DOBLE” tab_id=”1563492533238-371fe378-974d”][vc_row_inner gap=”35″][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/Qs0xSQRK1DA”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]La diplopía, también llamada visión doble, es una enfermedad de la visión en la cual las imágenes percibidas por los ojos no se procesan en el cerebro como una sola imagen espacial, sino que se genera visión doble. Según su origen, puede ser de dos tipos:
Binocular: This is the most common type. It occurs when the eyes don't align with each other correctly.
Monocular: This is much less common than the previous one. It is characterized by double vision generated in only one eye. It is related to an eye abnormality.
Depending on the result, diplopia can be of three types:
Horizontal: Images appear side by side.
Vertical: Images appear one on top of the other.
Diagonal: the images appear both horizontally and vertically.[/vc_column_text][inwave_accordions layout=”accordion2″ preview_style2=”” item_active=”-1″][inwave_accordion_item title=”Symptoms”]Apart from double vision, other symptoms that may appear are:

The optic nerve runs from the eye or eyeball to the brain, transmitting visual information to the location where it is processed. Papilledema may imply damage to the optic nerve, although this is not always the case.[/vc_column_text][inwave_accordions layout=”accordion2″ preview_style2=”” item_active=”-1″][inwave_accordion_item title=”Symptoms”]The optic nerve is a rounded, flat organ with well-defined edges located behind the eyeball. Papilledema, a consequence of inflammation of this nerve, causes decreased vision or "blurred" vision. This impairment can be mild, moderate, or severe.
Occasionally, there is also a decrease in peripheral vision or visual field. White and red spots may also appear, which only an ophthalmologist can detect.[/inwave_accordion_item][inwave_accordion_item title=”Treatment”]Treatment depends on the underlying cause. For papilledema due to inflammatory temporal arteritis, corticosteroids are indicated. For edema due to neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis, intravenous corticosteroids or interferon are indicated.
En el edema por pseudotumor cerebri se indica una reducción de peso, diuréticos o cirugías del nervio óptico en los casos en que ambas opciones no generen resultados. En otros, como el edema de origen vascular y la neuropatía óptica anterior isquémica, se tratan las enfermedades generales que predisponen a esta afección como son la hipertensión arterial y la diabetes.[/inwave_accordion_item][/inwave_accordions][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”NEUROPATÍA ÓPTICA ISQUEMICA” tab_id=”1563492533292-53eb00b1-ee75″][vc_row_inner gap=”35″][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/DTL_5oZrIaI”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]La neuropatía óptica isquémica se produce cuando la sangre no fluye adecuadamente al nervio óptico del ojo, lo cual ocasiona daños duraderos al nervio, de repente se pierde la visión en uno o ambos ojos.
The optic nerve carries signals from the eyes to the brain. The brain then converts these signals into the images you see. When blood flow to the optic nerve is reduced or blocked, it doesn't get enough oxygen or nutrition. It then stops functioning properly and eventually dies.
This condition can affect central vision, side (peripheral) vision, or both. Because the damaged optic nerve cannot be repaired, any vision loss is usually permanent. People with this serious condition usually retain some peripheral vision.
[/vc_column_text][inwave_accordions layout=”accordion2″ preview_style2=”” item_active=”-1″][inwave_accordion_item title=”Symptoms”]
If blood flow to the optic nerve is reduced, vision will darken for a few seconds or minutes, then return to normal. This is called a transient ischemic attack.
This type of stroke can happen before it starts. If you experience symptoms, call your ophthalmologist or primary care physician immediately.
Discovering and treating the problem as soon as possible can help prevent further vision loss caused by ischemic optic neuropathy.
[/inwave_accordion_item][inwave_accordion_item title=”Treatment”]If the cause of your neuropathy is swelling of the arteries in your head (temporal arteritis), your ophthalmologist may ask you to take steroid pills (prednisone). This medication can prevent the neuropathy from spreading to your other eye.
Your doctor may want to treat any other health problems you have that put you at risk for developing them. He or she may prescribe medications to treat high blood pressure, diabetes, clogged arteries, migraines, or other health problems.
No existe ningún tratamiento para mejorar la pérdida de la visión producida por la Neuropatía. Sin embargo, su oftalmólogo le puede sugerir materiales y recursos útiles para ayudarlo a ver con baja visión.[/inwave_accordion_item][/inwave_accordions][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_btn title=”SOLICITE SU CITA” shape=”round” align=”center” el_class=”popmake-3281 pum-trigger”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
