This book helps the reader in recognizing, approaching, and managing such a patient. It covers the afferent and efferent systems, pupillary disorders, and Radiology of neuro-ophthalmic conditions. It features individual symptomatology with salient points, their management and differential diagnosis. It has case scenarios, key points, and algorithms along with self-assessment MCQ questions. Its simplified, step wise approach will be a useful resource for neurologists, ophthalmologists, physicians, pediatricians, and optometrists.

Key Features
• Features a simplified and stepwise clinical approach to neuro-ophthalmic disorders.
• Includes case studies and clinical pearls along with self-assessment sections.
• Covers to the point and crisp analysis of common complaints faced in neuro-ophthalmology.
