Preface
Neuro-ophthalmology is a dynamic and evolving field. Regional, national, and international similarities and differences in clinical approach and philosophy provide an insight into the global nature of the field. This book intends to summarize the key clinical evaluation and management issues for selected neuro-ophthalmic conditions. It is not our intention to comprehensively cover the entire spectrum of neuro-ophthalmology, but instead we propose to highlight a few relevant and timely topics of interest to a general audience interested in neuro-ophthalmic disease. We hope that the reader enjoys this brief entry into global neuro-ophthalmic care.
