In addition to the newly added NANOS’ Illustrated Curriculum, STAT!Ref now also offers The Neurology of Eye Movements and Eye Movement Disorders in Clinical Practice. Residents, fellows and physicians in neurology, ophthalmology, and optometry will all benefit greatly from these Ophthalmology Resources. Please see below for more details.
The 5th edition of The Neurology of Eye Movements has two interrelated parts. The first comprises a modern synthesis of the anatomical, physiological, and pharmacological substrate for eye movements, including current views on the reflexive and voluntary control of gaze. The second part of the book applies this synthesis to the clinical and laboratory evaluation of patients with abnormal eye movements due to a broad range of disorders – from muscular dystrophy, and genetic disorders, to dementia, including visual and vestibular conditions. By placing links to figures, tables, boxes, and videos, a synthesis of basic research and clinical findings is provided, that may shed new light on disease processes and provide insights on normal brain function.

In Eye Movement Disorders in Clinical Practice, a leading expert with over thirty years of teaching experience in neurology and neuro-ophthalmology offers comprehensive instruction on the diagnosis and treatment of all varieties of eye movement disorders. This important new text reflects the importance of correlating clinical signs of disorders in the oculomotor system with their neuroanatomic and neurophysiologic architecture. With its focus on signs and symptoms, the book advances lesion localization of eye movement disorders as the central clinical concern. The reader is also presented with a fresh review of bedside examination techniques in the ER, ICU, and walk-in clinic; productive ways of taking a clinical history; sign interpretation; source lesion localization; and, where appropriate, therapy.
The text features over 100 clinical cases, each one challenging the reader to determine the neuroanatomical location of the patient’s lesion. This exercise provides the anatomical guidance needed to make critical diagnostic and management decisions in patients who often present with abnormal eye movements. In addition, this resource also provides videos illustrating more than 40 types of eye movement disorders, their signs, their symptoms, and the relevant diagnosis.
Bundle these resources with Harley’s Pediatric Ophthalmology, Merritt’s Neurology and NANOS’ Illustrated Curriculum. Have any questions about these new resources or others within the discipline of Ophthalmology? Please fill out this form to speak with a STAT!Ref Team Member today.
