Abstract

Neuro-ophthalmic disease can cause a wide array of visual impairments. Management should include neuro-ophthalmic examination, patient education regarding visual prognosis, and evaluation of visual function. Often, low vision examination and rehabilitation are useful adjuncts to the neuro-ophthalmic evaluation. Components of a low vision examination pertaining to neuro-ophthalmology are discussed. Specific low vision management strategies are reviewed for patients with visual acuity loss, visual field loss, decreased contrast sensitivity, and ocular motor disturbances caused by neuro-ophthalmic disease.
