Synopsis
Excerpt from A Description of Some of the Most Important Ophthalmic Methods, Employed for the Recognition of Peripheral and Central Nerve Disease
Thus subdivided, the methods for research can be easily understood, and the significance of the findings can be readily realized. Not that any one plan can be relied upon to give proper answer as to the causal lesion: not that any single grouping of simple procedures is sufficient to vouchsafe an adequate diagnosis. Each form of relevant physiologic action and every variety of related anatomical structure must be carefully studied and conscientiously looked at seriatim by the aid of some of the most important and the best adapted clinical methods. This, done not only once, but repeatedly and at regular intervals from the very first suspicion of neural disorder, will, when carefully performed by competent observers, frequently afford much clinical data towards the correct and early diagnosis of grave nerve-disease that ofttimes may thus be checked by appropriate hygienic and therapeutic measures.
Taking the plan for the objective determination of the sensory groupings first, we are at once placed before the most important, the most comprehensible, and the most pretended of the procedures, - ophthalmoscopy.
