Abstract

TOO OFTEN PATIENTS WITH NEURO-OPHTHALMOLOGY CONDITIONS ARE EITHER REFERRED TO SPECIALIZED NEURO-OPHTHALMOLOGISTS IN DISTANT CITIES OR FORCED TO UNDERGO EXPENSIVE INVESTIGATIONS LIKE CT/MRI AND THEN REFERRED TO GENERAL NEUROLOGISTS LEADING TO GREAT AND MANY A TIME NEEDLESS HARDSHIP TO PATIENTS. THIS COURSE HIGHLIGHTS IMPORTANCE OF BASIC CLINICAL SIGNS, SYMPTOMS AND SIMPLE INVESTIGATIONS LIKE VISUAL FIELDS AND COLOUR VISION TESTS ETC AND HOW A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH CAN LEAD TO A CONCLUSIVE DIAGNOSIS AND IN MANY CASES AVOID THE NECESSITY OF EXPENSIVE INVESTIGATIONS.PROOF OF CONCEPT WILL BE PROVIDED WITH ACTUAL CASE REPORTS. A MUST ATTEND FOR GENERAL OPHTHALMOLOGISTS LOOKING TO SHARPEN THEIR DIAGNOSTIC SKILLS TO BETTER SERVE THEIR PATIENTS. THE MORE YOU USE YOUR BRAIN AND NOT SIMPLY YOUR HANDS (DOING ONLY CATARACTS) THE LESSER THE CHANCES OF YOU DEVELOPING DEMENTIA IN YOUR OLD AGE!
