Features: To provide readers with a clear understanding of the independence and completeness of neuro-ophthalmology, this book not only lays a solid clinical foundation for neuro-ophthalmologists in making accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatments for most diseases, but also offers training and learning materials for neuro-ophthalmologists and doctors from various related disciplines at all levels. The book emphasizes practicality and does not aim to be all-encompassing. The references selected are from publications within the past 10 years, and review articles are chosen from classic and less accessible sources, enabling readers to grasp the essentials and consult the appended literature when needed. Clinically, there are many cases or diseases involving the nervous system and the eye, and the descriptions strive to be comprehensive without being overly verbose. We emphasize important and integral aspects of neuro-ophthalmology progress, such as computer technology and neuroimaging, particularly the clinical diagnostic applications of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We also make efforts to address significant and practical clinical issues in neuro-ophthalmology while retaining meaningful rare cases.
