Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Volume 294,
Issue 15 -- "Walsh and Hoyt's Clinical Neuro-ophthalmology is
considered the paramount reference text in the field. Broad in
scope and impeccably referenced, the multivolume text has regularly
provided a comprehensive review of neuro-ophthalmology and the
neuro-ophthalmic manifestations of neurologic, ophthalmologic, and
systemic disorders. Similar in format to the last edition, the new
sixth edition provides a multiauthored, encyclopedic text, rich in
clinical acumen and teeming with clinical anecdotes. It is
illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Slimmed down from
five volumes to a mere three, the sixth edition is a fitting
continuation of a time-honored text. Written and edited by
international leaders in neuro-ophthalmology, each chapter provides
an extensive discourse on the history, clinical features,
diagnosis, and treatment of the relevant topic. Although many
chapters bear a strong resemblance to those in prior editions,
several have been updated extensively to reflect expanding
knowledge. Of special note are the chapters on optic neuritis
(volume 1) and cerebrovascular disease (volume 2). These
outstanding updates demonstrate their individual authors' in-depth
understanding of the subject matter and notable ability to organize
difficult topics into coherent clinical visions. Walsh and Hoyt's
Clinical Neuro-ophthalmology is an essential reference that belongs
in every medical library, department of neurology, and department
of ophthalmology."--Journal of the American Medical Association

Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology, Volume 25, Issue 3, Jonathan D.
Trobe, MD -- "The chapters are mostly little masterpieces--well
written, erudite, comprehensive, well-organized, and
well-illustrated. It should be on the shelf of libraries of basic
and clinical neuroscience departments and schools of optometry.
Practitioners of neurology, neurosurgery, and neuro-ophthalmology
will also want one. Like its earlier editions, a classic in the
field. There is simply no other source for comprehensive
information in neuro-ophthalmology. Many of the chapters are better
than comparable ones in leading textbooks of neurology and
neurosurgery."--Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology
The New England Journal of Medicine, Volume 353, Issue 6 -- "Nearly
every neuro-ophthalmologist owns at least one edition of Walsh &
Hoyt's Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology. The editors, and more than 60
contributing authors, continue this tradition with the sixth
edition. Written and edited by some of the leading authorities,
this edition includes references to older, pertinent literature,
and the value cannot be overstated. The editors have reduced the
size of the book from the five volumes of the fifth edition to a
more manageable three, without a decline in quality. The book
includes an impressive collection of illustrations, illustrating
even the rarest of disorders. This book represents an outstanding
book and an essential reference for anyone interested in the
field."--The New England Journal of Medicine
