"There are few works targeted primarily to the clinician dealing with optic neuropathies. Drs. Kline and Foroozan have provided just such a resource: concise summaries of the most common optic nerve disorders, with authoritative, current, and practical recommendations for management. This monograph is beautifully illustrated, well organized, and clearly written. I recommend it highly to anyone, in training or beyond, seeking to acquire a basic understandingof optic nerve disease." --Anthony C. Arnold, MD, Professor and Chief, Neuro-Ophthalmology Division, Jules Stein Eye Institute, University of California, Los Angeles"The diagnosis of optic nerve disorders relies less on the appearance of the optic disc than on the patient's history, clinical examination, and ancillary tests. Each case is a jigsaw puzzle: The more pieces one can put together, the faster the puzzle is solved. When I read the first edition, I thought it was absolutely the best book on the subject of optic nerve disorders I had ever read. There were pearls on every page! Dr. Kline now presents us with a secondedition, enhanced by new contributions from a number of young, but distinguished co-authors, as well as a co-editor. Together, they have taken the book to a new level, incorporating both clinicalfindings and the results of both new and old imaging and electrophysiologic testing. This new edition sparkles in its presentations, explanations, and superb illustrations. It is truly a pièce de resistance of which the authors should be exceedingly proud." --Neil R.
