Abstract: Neuro-ophthalmoligy is an academically-oriented subspecialty that merges the fields of neurology, ophthalmology, neurosurgery and otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, medicine and surgery. Neuro-ophthalmoligy deals with complex systemic diseases that have manifestations in the visual system. Qualifi ed neuro-ophthalmologist should not only have the basic knowledge and clinical skills, especially those of the neurology and ophthalmology, but also should have strong capacity of logical thinking and analyzing. Therefore, the training model for the graduates of neuro-ophthalmologist should be different from that for the traditional ophthalmology and neurology. In the process of cultivation, special attention should be paid for the basic knowledge and skills of the interdisciplinary, especially enhancing the capacity of clinical diagnosis and treatment as well as scientifi c research analysis, in order to improve the overall capacity of graduate students in neuro-ophthalmoligy.
