Visual Fields via the Visual Pathway (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is a basic reference guide on the anatomy of the visual pathway, the layout/topography of the nerve fibers throughout the visual pathway, typical lesions affecting each part of the visual pathway, the visual field defects to be expected at each level, and the associated signs and symptoms (ocular and general) at each level of the visual pathway. It includes examples of visual field results enhanced by illustrative photographs and brain scans as appropriate to each part of the visual pathway and pathology. Also included are sections on differential diagnosis and artefacts of testing.

Fiona Rowe, PhD, DBO, CGLI Cert. Ed., is a senior staff member in the Department of Health Services Research at the University of Liverpool, associate editor-in-chief for the journal Strabismus and editor with the Cochrane library Eyes and Vision group. Dr. Rowe qualified as an orthoptist in 1990 and has maintained combined clinical and academic research activity since that time. Her research interests include acquired brain injury, visual field evaluation and control of ocular alignment. She has been the lead for several multi-centre research projects, is the author of two textbooks, co-author on four book chapters, and has presented and published her research extensively.
