Book Description
Neuro-ophthalmology is a field of medicine that touches on every subspecialty in neurology, but has an undeserved reputation as a branch of knowledge that is difficult to learn and practice. Many neurologists and ophthalmologists do not receive sufficient exposure to neuro-ophthalmology during their residencies, and are uncomfortable diagnosing and treating patients with neuro-ophthalmic problems.
Authored by neuro-ophthalmologists whose careers span three generations in the field,
Neuro-Ophthalmology helps clinicians evaluate and manage patients with neuro-ophthalmic problems. This “curb-side consult” approach is divided into five sections: afferent (visual) disorders; efferent (eye movement) disorders; eyelid disorders; pupil disorders; and combination syndromes. Based on the most current scholarly evidence and filled with practical advice, Neuro-Ophthalmology provides the answers to “what do I do now? “Editorial Reviews
Review
This is an excellent text for the general ophthalmologist and neurologist to have readily available for consultation when examining patients with neuro-ophthalmic problems.This book also would be a good choice for medical students and house staff eager to learn more about the field of neuro-ophthalmology.
