Ophthalmology and Visual Neuroscience

Neuro-ophthalmology is a specialized area that combines knowledge from neurology and ophthalmology. It deals with complex health issues that affect the visual system. Doctors who specialize in this field usually train first in either neurology or ophthalmology and then get extra training in the other area. Because the way these conditions show up can be different in each person, it's important for neuro-ophthalmologists to take a detailed medical history and do a thorough physical exam. These specialists often spend a lot of time talking to and carefully examining their patients.
