Neuro-ophthalmic System

Provides the clinician with the techniques for evaluating the inner eye. This guide enables clinicians to perform correct evaluations of extraocular motility problems, visual field defects, and pupillary abnormalities, in order to pinpoint areas of the brain affected by stroke, tumor, or demyelination.

"Neuro-Ophthalmic System: Clinical Procedures" provides the clinician with the basic techniques for evaluating the inner eye. The text is designed so that optometrists of all levels can increase their level of comfort with the challenge of complicated clinical scenarios in which benign disorders must be separated from vision- or life-threatening conditions requiring rapid intervention. The guide will enable clinicians to perform correct evaluations of extraocular motility problems, visual field defects, and pupillary abnormalities, in order to pinpoint areas of the brain affected by stroke, tumor or demyelination. Information on systemic neurologic disease, including easy instructions for a neurologic screening examination, is provided. The author discusses how to administer many important diagnostic tests, such as contrast sensitivity and exophthalmometry, and how to interpret abnormal findings. A generous amount of illustrations, including 16 color photographs, helps to make this a practical and indispensable clinical reference.
