This course will discuss the latest view of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in the world. Visual manifestations can be due to pathology and/or treatments of Parkinson’s Disease. Ocular manifestations such as visual hallucinations, dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, convergence insufficiency, diplopia and contrast sensitivity, will be discussed (Published in peer-reviewed Journal).
