Track: Neuro-Ophthalmology

Session Overview:

The "Neuro-Ophthalmology" session at the 3rd International Conference on Neurology and Mental Disorders will delve deeply into the intricate and often overlooked relationship between the nervous system and visual pathways. This session is meticulously crafted for neurologists, ophthalmologists, and researchers who are eager to explore the complex interplay between neurological disorders and visual impairments. As the field of neuro-ophthalmology rapidly evolves, understanding these connections has become crucial for advancing patient care. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the latest research, including how advancements in imaging technologies, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and functional MRI, are revolutionizing the diagnosis and management of neuro-ophthalmic conditions. The session will also explore new therapeutic approaches, including gene therapy and neuroprotective strategies, that hold promise for treating optic neuropathies and other vision-related neurological disorders. By attending this session, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to improve patient outcomes in this critical area of healthcare.

Recent Developments:

Recent developments in neuro-ophthalmology have significantly advanced the field, particularly in the areas of diagnosis and treatment. High-resolution imaging techniques, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography, have revolutionized the early detection of conditions like optic neuritis and glaucoma, offering unprecedented detail of retinal and optic nerve structures. Functional MRI (fMRI) has also gained prominence, providing deep insights into brain-visual pathway interactions and aiding in understanding disorders like multiple sclerosis and stroke-related vision loss. On the therapeutic front, gene therapy has emerged as a promising approach, particularly for inherited retinal diseases, offering hope for conditions previously deemed untreatable. Additionally, neuroprotective strategies and advancements in pharmacological treatments are showing potential in managing optic neuropathies and other neuro-ophthalmic disorders. The integration of artificial intelligence in diagnostics and patient care is another breakthrough, enabling more accurate and efficient detection of neuro-ophthalmic conditions, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
