Neuro-Ophthalmology: Clinical Signs and Symptoms
Author: Thomas J. Walsh, MD
https://cybersight.org/portfolio/neuro-ophthalmology-clinical-signs-and-symptoms/
The accuracy of clinical diagnosis depends on the history and examination, an adequate fund of knowledge, and correct diagnostic reasoning. The patient who is referred for a neuro-ophthalmologic problem is different from most patients seen by either the ophthalmologist or the neurologist. For the ophthalmologist who is used to making a diagnosis by examination of a transparent organ, the neuro-ophthalmologic patient requires more investment of time and talent to obtain a better history and to arrange alternative and supplementaly examinations..

Author: Frederick Hampton Roy, MD, FACS

This book is designed for quick reference while the patient's eyes are being dilated or immediately following an examination. Practicality is the objective; conciseness, logical arrangement, and authenticity are the main features.
