Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2004
Patients who present with visual loss that cannot be explained by organic lesions represent a wide spectrum of patients from those with no physiologic problem to those patients who have a true underlying condition. Regardless of where a patient falls within this spectrum, all patients need to be approached with a clinical evaluation to ensure that no ...

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs), including retinitis pigmentosa, have devastating consequences for the visual function of affected individuals. Chief among these are a gradual loss of visual field, visual acuity, and night vision (otherwise known as nyctalopia). These changes often occur slowly, over a course of decades.

Visualizing presynaptic function
Nature Neuroscience, 2013Synaptic communication in the nervous system is initiated by the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic plasma membrane and subsequent neurotransmitter release. In the 1980s, this process was characterized by electron microscopy, albeit without the ability to follow processes in living cells.

Visual Function Tests: Visual Fields
2022Visual field tests, also known as perimetry tests, are used to assess progression of ophthalmic diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) by monitoring changes in a patient's visual field (VF). VF loss corresponds to damage at any point in the visual pathway, including the retina, such as in RP. Damage to different parts of this pathway corresponds to

Purpose of review Functional visual loss (FVL) is a syndrome in which subjective visual parameters are inconsistent with objective measures. Recent advances in understanding the pathophysiology and management of functional disorders and FVL will be explored.

This chapter discusses the anatomic basis of the visual functions, and symptoms and signs caused by its impairment, and representative diseases or syndromes presenting with visual disturbance. How much detail of visual acuity should be measured depends on the tentative diagnosis based on the history taking and on the clinical set-up in the hospital. At

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1985
Patients with functional loss of visual acuity or visual fields range from the "deliberate malingerer" to the "suggestible innocent." Between these extremes are patients with varying mixtures of fraud and suggestibility. These patients do not, as a rule, have psychiatric disease and do not need to see a psychiatrist. The ophthalmologist must be able to

Visual Function in Neurofibromatosis
Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology, 1996To evaluate the visual function in patients with neurofibromatosis (NF) and to study the etiology and incidence of visual dysfunction associated with NF.A total of 75 patient with diagnostic criteria for NF were evaluated. Neuro-ophthalmological examination as well as electrophysiological and imaging studies were performed.

Visual Function Assessment Questionnaires
Survey of Ophthalmology, 2001With increased emphasis on functional outcomes in ophthalmology, third-party health care payers and research funding agencies have turned their attention to the development and use of visual function questionnaires. Since 1980, more than a dozen such self-report visual function questionnaires have been developed.

Current Biology, 1992
The idea that visual signals relayed by the parvocellular and magnocellular subdivisions of the lateral geniculate nucleus remain segregated in the cerebral cortex has attracted considerable attention. It has been proposed that parvocellular contributions dominate in the temporal visual cortex, and that magnocellular contributions dominate in the ...
