The knowledge of experts covers more and more circumscripts. Together with several other fac- tors, this phenomenon enhances the importance of teamwork. Our book also aims to meet this need. Neuro-ophthalmology falls in a niche between the two specialties combining their knowledge concerning the sense of sight. Vision is the most important system which links us to the outside world. Its complexity in itself requires the expertise of several specialties, not to men- tion the visual symptoms of numerous diseases of not neurological origin. Judit Somlai, who has become a household name in Hungarian neuro- ophthalmology, managed to win over almost 50 experts to cooperate in the explanation and education of this fi eld. T his book has some antecedents, as since its fi rst publication (1996) it has already been revised twice. Both revisions (2007 and 2010) incorporated sub- stantially updated and supplemented content, written by an increasing num- ber of authors. You can get an idea of the dynamic development of the fi eld just by considering the shortened time between two revisions and the expan- sion of the book; the present publication has twice as many pages as the pre- vious one. Similarly to the previous book, the rehabilitation of chronic visual impair- ment and the available aids get extensive coverage. T his book is also an excellent example of integration and work based on a complex conceptual base, which is frequently lacking in today’s health care. I would like to congratulate the authors of this book for providing us with this consistent and trustworthy knowledge, and I would also like to recom- mend it to experts working in the fi eld of ophthalmology, neurology, neuro- surgery, traumatology, radiology, as well as cardiovascular medicine and rehabilitation.
