Abstract:
For half a century the New Orleans Academy of Ophthalmology has been dedicated to providing an annual in-depth evaluation of an important clinical topic in ophthalmology. These symposia have always been a combination of relevant clinical thought, based on outstanding knowledge, and current research. In 1996 this tradition was continued with the symposium "Peril to the Nerve - Ophthalmology". From the latest discussions in the literature to provocative round tables and clinical controversy presentations, the participants discussed clinically useful topics in these fields. The panelists in the glaucoma segment were Drs Michael Kass, Donald Minckler, Paul Palmberg, Harry Quigley, George Spaeth and Thom Zimmerman; those in the neuro-ophthalmology section were Drs Ronald M.Burde, Joel S. Glazer and Normal J. Schatz. This volume contains the updated papers and reports of the round table discussions at this meeting. It can be considered a "state-of-the-art" publication.
