  • Title: The neuro-ophthalmologic examination (including coma).
    Author: Liu GT, Galetta SL.
    Journal: Ophthalmol Clin North Am; 2001 Mar; 14(1):23-39, vii. PubMed ID: 11370569.
    Abstract:
    Ophthalmologic practice requires a solid foundation in the principles and interpretation of the neuro-ophthalmologic examination. This article reviews the techniques used in the neuro-ophthalmologic examination to assess visual acuity, ocular motility, visual fields, the pupils, the eyelids, and the fundus. The neuro-ophthalmological examination in comatose patients is also reviewed. Neuro-ophthalmic techniques are paramount in the assessment of comatose patients, especially with regard to brainstem localization and diagnosis.
