Review & Description

This text is part of the Color Atlas and Synopsis of Clinical Ophthalmology which was developed at Philadelphia’s famed Wills Eye Institute.  The beauty of this series is the powerful combination of illustrative photographs and a summary approach to the text.  While the seven ophthalmic subspecialties in this series, Cornea, Retina, Glaucoma, Oculoplastics, Neuroophthalmology, Pediatrics, and Uveitis, employ varying levels of visual recognition, a relatively standard format for the text is used for all volumes.  The goal of the series is to provide an up-to-date clinical overview of the major areas of ophthalmology for students, residents, and practitioners in all the healthcare professions. 

Neuro-Ophthalmology, Second Edition, is intended to provide comprehensive ophthalmologists, ophthalmology residents, and fellows with a single-volume, easily accessible resource covering all the major aspects of neuro-ophthalmic disease. It will also be useful for subspecialists who are looking for an up-to-date, concise review of the field.  The book features more than 280 full-color illustrations throughout and a short, succinct format which includes: Epidemiology and Etiology, History, Physical Examination, Differential Diagnosis, Laboratory and Special Examinations, Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Management.
