The Neuro-Ophthalmology Virtual Education Library (NOVEL) is the largest online, open-access, repository of neuro-ophthalmology educational material. It contains nearly 20,000 learning objects, including textbooks, PDFs, PowerPoints, videos, and images in a variety of individual and group collections. The purpose of this letter is to increase awareness of this invaluable resource for neuro-ophthalmology education.

Here, we present an artificial intelligence (AI) model that harnesses a broad array of data, including demographics, individual and family medical history, medication use, neuropsychological assessments, functional evaluations and multimodal neuroimaging, to identify the etiologies contributing to dementia in individuals. The study, drawing on 51,269 participants across 9 independent, geographically diverse datasets, facilitated the identification of 10 distinct dementia etiologies.

- The study investigates the rising trend of emergency department (ED) visits for suspected papilledema due to various factors like increased idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) cases and limited neuro-ophthalmology access.
- Over a year, 153 patients were referred for papilledema, with 58% diagnosed with bilateral optic disc edema; 89% of those had confirmed papilledema related to intracranial hypertension.
- Patients with secondary causes of intracranial hypertension were generally older and presented with additional neurological symptoms compared to those with IIH, highlighting the need for targeted evaluations in these consultations.*
Interpretation of the Visual Field in Neuro-ophthalmic Disorders.

Purpose Of Review: In this review, we will describe current methods for visual field testing in neuro-ophthalmic clinical practice and research, develop terminology that accurately describes patterns of field deficits, and discuss recent advances such as augmented or virtual reality-based perimetry and the use of artificial intelligence in visual field interpretation.
Recent Findings: New testing strategies that reduce testing times, improve patient comfort, and increase sensitivity for detecting small central or paracentral scotomas have been developed for static automated perimetry. Various forms of machine learning-based tools such as archetypal analysis are being tested to quantitatively depict and monitor visual field abnormalities in optic neuropathies.
