Opis

Ophthalmologists need to be familiar with a wide variety of optic nerve diseases that may occur in isolation or form part of a generalized neurological or systemic disorder. Optic Nerve Disorders provides a succinct-yet-comprehensive review of the optic nerve disorders commonly encountered in clinical practice, briefly reviews the anatomy and physiology of the optic nerve, and outlines those techniques of particular importance during clinical testing of optic nerve function. It is a handy reference for the clinician to use in both the diagnosis of disorders and the management of care.
