Description: Clinical neuro-ophthalmology is a diverse field which bridges the gap between neurology and ophthalmology. This volume focuses on the clinical skills required for the diagnosis and management of neuro-ophthalmic problems. It gives a brief synopsis of the visual sensory system and covers examination and investigation of the various disorders of the eye. Also considered are disorders of the facial nerve and eyelid function, and neuro-ophthalmic aspects of migraine and other headaches. Full of clinical expertise and erudition, readers will find a concise but authoritative overview of this relatively new specialty.
