title: The bedside and office neuro-ophthalmology examination.
abstract: The neuro-ophthalmologic examination provides an enormous amount of information about the 40% of fibers that provide afferent and efferent limbs of the visual, pupillary, and ocular motor pathways. A few tools and the correct testing approach will maximize the value of this examination. This chapter provides step-by-step examination methods and points out some of the common errors that are made.
