RESUMO
Neuro-ophthalmology is a difficult and challenging field for ophthalmologists, orthoptists, and neurologists. Unfortunately, signs and symptoms of these patients can be very subtle and easily overlooked. Although neuro-ophthalmologic cases are rare in the practice of a general ophthalmologist, missing the diagnosis can have severe impact on the patient's health. The authors review last year's publications of neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations of systemic and neurologic disease.

This year's review of the literature on comitant strabismus is presented. The main problems in treating strabismus disorders are accurately diagnosing the condition and designing effective treatment plans. A better understanding of the underlying motility disorder facilitates a better treatment outcome. Several of this year's papers address the better detection and identification of comitant strabismus. Some patients with comitant exotropia and esotropia, however, have superimposed incomitant motility patterns such as dissociated vertical deviation. New insights into the possible etiology of dissociated vertical deviation have emerged through use of the sophisticated scleral search coil technique, which permits the discovery of minute motility changes not visible to the clinician's eye. The same technique was used to clarify the traditional clinical experience that convergence insufficiency can improve with convergence exercises.

New knowledge of the pathophysiology of amblyopia has evolved through animal research over the past 30 years. We now know that development and treatment of amblyopia have a critical and sensitive period. After more than a millennium, patching of the dominant eye remains the cornerstone of amblyopia treatment, and compliance plays an important role in its effectiveness. Compliance can now be measured objectively with an occlusion monitoring device. The first successful attempts have been made to pharmacologically influence the plasticity of the human visual system.
