It is also an excellent text for medical students and residents. … In conclusion, I believe this is must buy text for neurologists as well as all ophthalmologists from the posterior segment ophthalmologist to the anterior segment ophthalmologist.
"This textbook is one of the most interesting books in visual fields that I have yet come across. ".an excellent addition to the world of visual field texts.should be obtained by every neurologic and ophthalmologic teaching library.highly recommended for any clinicianwho has an interest in the visual system and disorders." - Le Journal Des Sciences Neurologiques It is a text that will instruct students at all levels and enhance the clinical acumen of any practicing neurologist." -Neurology Field of Vision fills a void in the visual field literature: a text and atlas that meld together to teach perimetry and functional visual anatomy effectively to the clinician.
"Field of Vision: A Manual and Atlas of Perimetry is a welcome addition to the already vast array of neurology and opthalmology texts. The superb integration of clinical and technical material will make this book a valuable teaching reference for all involved in the management of visual disorders." - J Neuro-Opthalmol To develop the clinician's skills in interpretation, the authors include an impressive atlas of 120 cases. The authors focus only on the clinically relevant points, providing enough technical detail and anatomic knowledge for the physician to competently interpret visual field defects. "This is a comprehensive overview of the use of perimetric devices and bedside testing of visual fields. this book is appropriate for medical libraries and large academic libraries supporting programs on vision research." - E-STREAMS "This book is packed with high-resolution photographs and visual field charts. ".a welcome addition to the basic texts for all those who practice clinical neurology, as well as those training in the area.I enjoyed reading it from beginning to end and will undoubtedly refer back to it in the future."-Martin A. Neurologist-in-Chief, Brigham and Women's Hospital Boston, MA All of the major disorders that cause visual field disturbances are covered by this beautiful atlas. After the five didactic chapters, there is an impressive 120 case atlas complete with relevant histories, neuroimaging, and detailed explanations of the pathophysiology of the visual field disturbances. The final two didactic chapters detail the use of the two most important instruments: the Goldmann perimeter and the Humphrey automated field analyzer. This is followed by chapters on the functional anatomy of the visual system and the techniques for performing perimetry in the office and at the bedside. The book begins with a chapter on the importance and principles of perimetry and the normal visual field. Barton, a neurologist/neuro-ophthalmologist and Michael Benatar, a clinical neurologist, in response to a correctly perceived need. Simply written and clinically focused, Field of Vision: A Manual and Atlas of Perimetry brings together in an accessible format the specialist knowledge and skills needed by today's clinicians to successfully measure and interpret the visual fields of patients.įield of Vision: A Manual and Atlas of Perimetry is written by Jason J.S. An additional quiz section of 20 randomly arranged visual fields provides readers with an opportunity to test newly acquired skills in detecting the abnormalities, describing them, localizing them, and making a reasonable guess at their pathology. The accompanying discussion addresses the nuances of the field and considers some of the clinical issues relevant to each case. Each case contains a brief clinical vignette, a visual field, and a description of the field and its causal lesion, most with photographs of the pathology. To develop the clinician's skill in interpretation, the authors include an atlas of 100 real-life cases arranged in anatomic order from retina to striate cortex.
The authors focus on the clinically relevant points, providing enough technical detail and anatomic knowledge for the physician to competently examine patients with a perimeter.
Barton, MD, PhD, and neurologist Michael Benatar, MBChB, DPhil, provide a comprehensive overview of the use of both perimetric devices and bedside testing, and how to interpret the results. In Field of Vision: A Manual and Atlas of Perimetry, neuro-ophthalmologist Jason J.S. Although the visual field provides clinicians with important diagnostic information for many neurologic and ophthalmologic conditions, its evaluation is often perceived as difficult or mysterious.
