A complete "hands-on" book for specialists and non-specialists

For those clinicians with minimal experience in reading the signs and symptoms of neuro-ophthalmic disease, this book provides the information you need to make accurate clinical judgments and will give you the confidence to handle emergency situations.

Features:

Well-organized sections on examination techniques, signs and symptoms, categories of neuro-ophthalmic disorders, and key diagnostic tests
More than 200 full-color photographs of specific diseases for easy identification
Detailed lists of differential diagnoses and "red flags" to prevent errors in evaluation or treatment
In-depth discussions of optic tumors, diplopia and polyopia, Horner's Syndrome, nerve palsies, visual field defects, eye movement disorders, and more

Designed for specialists and non-specialists alike, this user-friendly guidebook will be invaluable for immediate diagnostic and management decisions, including knowing when referrals are in order.
