Clinical Review of Neuro-ophthalmology: Part I

This chapter offers an in-depth clinical review of neuro-ophthalmology, focusing on the interplay between neurological systems and visual disturbances. It begins with an overview of the visual pathway, highlighting how light signals travel from the retina through the optic nerve to the brain’s visual cortex. The chapter covers common optic nerve diseases, such as optic neuritis, glaucoma, and ischemic optic neuropathy, detailing their clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment. Additional topics include optic disc anomalies, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, pupil disorders, and cranial nerve dysfunction affecting eye movements. This comprehensive guide serves as a crucial resource for ophthalmology trainees and clinicians managing neuro-ophthalmological disorders.
