We at BEH prioritize going into the roots of the disorder, to provide good treatment and prognosis to all our patients.

Optic Neuritis

Intracranial space occupying lesion

Tumors such as craniopharyngioma, pituitary adenoma and others can compress the optic nerve at different areas and cause visual loss. The treatment has to be given based on the diagnosis after a few tests to confirm the diagnosis.

Cerebrovascular Disorders

Any ischemia can cause transient visual loss which will resolve if proper treatment is given.

Ocular Motility Disorders

  • They are partial or complete inability to move either one or both the eyes due to nervous system disorders like tumors, myasthenia gravis, cranial nerve palsies, trauma, ischemia and others.

Demyelinating Disorders
