Assignment: Please read 

• At least Chapter 7: The Patient with Supranuclear Disorders of Ocular Motility in the BCSC Neuro-ophthalmology book.
• I prepared for this conference using Lanning Kline's Review of Neuro-ophthalmology book.
• Another reference I found very helpful was Supranuclear control of ocular motility by Lea Averbach-Heller (attached)
