Which conditions are treated by Neuro-Ophthalmologists?

  • Double Vision
  • Eyelid abnormalities
  • Microvascular cranial nerve palsy
  • Myasthenia gravis
  • Optic nerve disorders
  • Pseudotumor cerebri
  • Strabismus

What is Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy? How can I get it treated?

Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) is a sudden loss of vision which occurs due to an interruption of blood flow to the front part of the optic nerve.

Its symptoms involve:

  • Temporary vision loss
  • Difficulty seeing colors
  • Blind spots
  • Blurry vision

There are two main types of AION:

  • Arteritic AION (AAION): This type is caused by a condition called giant cell arteritis (GCA), which is an inflammatory disease that affects blood vessels.
  • Non-arteritic AION (NAAION): This is the more common type, and the exact cause is unknown. However, risk factors include high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, and smoking.

AION treatment depends on the type:

  • AAION: Immediate treatment with high-dose steroids is crucial to prevent vision loss in the other eye. This helps manage the inflammation in the eye.
  • NAAION: Unfortunately, there’s no proven cure for NAION. However, doctors may recommend managing underlying conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes to prevent further damage.

From experienced doctors to courteous staff.. everyone is so professional and caring. I went for routine checkup only and was really impressed how they took care of every query. My eyes were throughly checked by 4 different doctors and everyone was so humble to answer my queries to utmost satisfaction. Not to mention they took really good care of my mom and saved her eye to which other hospital refused treatment. I would strongly recommend to visit them. My mom’s case was worst and I am glad I contacted them. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

This one is gonna be slightly detailed. To start off, I can simply say that this institution is by far is one of the most well managed place in the country. The entire staff, nurses and doctors are impeccable and polite.We visited the hospital for my mother’s eye surgery for (retina detachment) and everything went smoothly and can simply say it was the best decision we took. The matters of eye are intricate and I personally don’t think any other place would’ve handled the case with such ease. From scheduling the surgery, to operation to post op care, all was great. This is not just my opinion but almost every other patient we came across and spoke to. Dr Atul a big thanks to you and your team for helping thousands of people see things again.

We met doctor Bharat , he is very sweet and genuinely expalained everything about my dad's conditions. MY DAD IS PRETTY MUCH SATISFIED . Also staff memebers are very welcoming and sweet.Overall, the ambiance is good. However, the only thing I feel is lacking is the reception area lighting, which is very bright. It was irritating for my dad and some other patients as well. As an eye center, the interior should be dimmer. Just a genuine suggestion.

front office staff and floor supervisors are very helpful. Even though there is a lot of rush and then waiting, but you will get the best treatment here. They understand your issues very well and great treatment is provided. AKIO is highly affordable as we see them not turning back any patient just because of financial issues. Great work by all. Thank you once again. Keep up this great work.

It’s an eye hospital in Safdarjung enclave. Has two floors. They also have a skin center. They do quite intensive tests for eyes using modern technologies. The staff is nice, speak politely, is helpful and services well. Dr Atul Kumar is ex HoD AIIMS and is quite good. He is a retina specialist. Consultation is Rs 1000. OCT is 3500 rs. Series of tests are performed. Then consultation is done. They have washrooms on all floors, which are neat and clean. Water dispensers are also placed. There are changing rooms for both males and females. There is a small lounge with tea, coffee and snacks on payment. There is a small pharmacy desk. A small shoppe for frames and lens too. The treatment charges are seemingly on the higher side. Like for a cataract and lens they charge 65000 rs for one eye with Ayance lens.Couple of things I ddnt appreciate- admonishing the previous doctors & condemning them. Quoting different prices by staff for the same treatment or tests. Creating anxiety & urgency for treatment. Patient needs to absorb and think and decide.
