Welcome to Optic Neurology

The specialist clinic for optic nerve and optic disc problems

Located in the Harley Street medical district, we are a centre of expertise for all optic nerve conditions.

We combine cutting-edge diagnostics and expert Neuro-Ophthalmic opinion.

Investigations that can take weeks on the NHS, we can do in just 24 hours.

And we combine the opinion of up to four Consultant Specialists on your case.

So if you want rapid reassurance for your optic nerve or optic disc findings, we are here to help.

We specialise in complex conditions like optic disc swelling, suspicious optic discs, papilloedema, optic neuritis and optic neuropathy.

We offer two unrivalled packages (more details below)

“Optic Nerve Diagnostics in a Day” package for optic neuritis/optic neuropathy

“Dangerous Optic Discs”  package for optic disc swelling/papilloedema/suspicious optic discs

Optic neurology – unrivalled optic nerve expertise, in a fraction of the time.

Who we serve

We serve the public who want urgent answers, expert opinion and peace of mind. When your optician finds something that needs investigating, you don’t want to wait for months for a diagnosis. Even in the private sector, investigations and referral can take weeks. We have streamlined the process into a single package of care to put your mind at ease.

You don’t need a referral to book in. Simply send us an email or use the contact form below.

Please note: as a premium clinic, we do not deal with insurers and so see everyone on a self-pay basis.

We also serve Doctors who want specialist optic nerve assessment/diagnosis on patients under their care

  • Neurologists
  • Neurosurgeons
  • Endocrinologists – pituitary
  • Ophthalmologists

Why we are different

Speed: We can do in 24 hours what others do in weeks.

Combined expertise: We are the only clinic that combines up to four expert Consultant opinions into a single diagnostic package.

What we offer

We use the most advanced eye, optic nerve and brain diagnostic tests available. We then combine that with world-class expertise so you can get your diagnosis as quickly as possible. We then refer you on to the best specialist for your care – whether a Neurologist, Neurosurgeon, or Endocrinologist.

Our technology

We use the most advanced and reliable testing methods for neuro-ophthalmic problems. All the tests you need. None of the tests you don’t need. We test your visual acuity, colour vision, contrast sensitivity, and pupil function. We use the advanced Zata visual field testing algorithm to examine your central and peripheral vision. We use the Maestro OCT to analyse your optic nerve structure, and the the cells in the retina that form the optic nerve. We use ultra-high resolution (3T) MRI to scan your eyes, optic nerves and brain visual pathways. And if you need a lumbar puncture, we use only X-ray guided LPs.

  • Dr Nadeem Ali, Consultant Neuro-Ophthalmologist
  • Mr Miodrag Vojcic, Consultant Neuro-Ophthalmologist
  • Mr Jayesh Khistria, Consultant Neuro-Orthoptist
