Abstract

Acute visual loss in one eye is a common symptom brought to the attention of the practicing neurologist. In this circumstance, it is critical to identify whether visual loss is due to an optic neuropathy or an ocular disorder (especially retinal disease). This review addresses the elements of the history and examination that are useful in evaluating a patient with visual loss, with the goals of correctly localizing the lesion and constructing a likely differential diagnosis.
