One of the main sources of information is a version of a chapter I've written for a text book on Neuro-Ophthalmology. I have attempted to keep this updated as it takes two years to get a chapter published. Therefore this version is not what appears in print. It is meant primarily for physicians although I've given earlier versions to many of my patients. Illustrations have now been scanned and appear with the text, ditto for tables. The numbers in brackets {} in the text refer to citations which come at the end.
