title: The neuro-ophthalmologic examination.
abstract: Neurosurgical practice requires a solid foundation in the principles and interpretation of the neuro-ophthalmologic examination. In this article, the techniques used in the neuro-ophthalmologic examination to assess visual acuity, ocular motility, visual fields, the pupils, the eyelids, and the fundus are reviewed. An emphasis is placed on those techniques most relevant to neurosurgical practice.
