چکیده
Herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus cause dermatitis, blepharoconjunctivitis, keratitis, uveitis, glaucoma, and retinitis. These conditions are encountered frequently by the ophthalmologist in clinical practice. It should not be overlooked that herpesviruses can also produce an extraordinary variety of neuroophthalmological signs and symptoms. What follows is an overview of the most common and important neuroophthalmological manifestations of herpesvirus infection.

متن کاملEducating the blind brain: a panorama of neural bases of vision and of training programs in organic neurovisual deficits
Vision is a complex function, which is achieved by movements of the eyes to properly foveate targets at any location in 3D space and to continuously refresh neural information in the different visual pathways. The visual system involves five main routes originating in the retinas but varying in their destination within the brain: the occipital cortex, but also the superior colliculus (SC), the ...
