Assignment: Please read
- At least Chapter 7: The Patient with Supranuclear Disorders of Ocular Motility in the BCSC Neuro-ophthalmology book.
- I prepared for this conference using Lanning Kline's Review of Neuro-ophthalmology book.
- Another reference I found very helpful was Supranuclear control of ocular motility by Lea Averbach-Heller (attached)
