Objectives
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Discuss the current understanding of neuromyelitis optica.
  • List the functional limitations on reading imposed by homonymous field defects, and approaches to low vision aid in this group.
  • Describe the utility of stereovision testing in neuro-ophthalmology using random dot stereograms.
  • Distinguish the effect of visual blur vs. amblyopia on saccade generation.
  • Define the mechanisms by which blastomycosis can produce and optic neuropathy.
  • Describe how a genetic syndrome involving congenital mydriasis can have significant systemic implications.
