    An Introduction to Neuro-ophthalmology

    Neuro-ophthalmology is a challenging area that incorporates many conditions that affect the neurological control of the visual system, such as strabismus and optic neuritis. Management often requires a multidisciplinary approach involving ophthalmology and neurology specialists.

    Browse the content below, to see leading experts discuss the latest data in video interviews and short articles from our conference hub. You can also view the selection of peer-reviewed articles from our journals. If you’re looking to learn more about the impact of these developments on patient outcomes, our educational activities are a great resource.

    Pharmacologic Mydriasis and Cycloplegia: A Review of Novel Delivery Devices
    Jalin A Jordan, Julius T Oatts

    touchREVIEWS in Ophthalmology. 2023;17(2):19-22 DOI: https://doi.org/10.17925/USOR.2023.17.2.2

    Mydriasis physiology Mydriasis refers to physiologic or pharmacologic pupillary dilation. Physiologic pupillary dilation occurs naturally as a response to low light and viewing objects in the distance. This process is mediated by both the iris sphincter and the iris dilator muscles, the latter of which contracts in response to sympathetic stimulation and relaxes in response to […]
