Differential Diagnoses Symptoms and other Useful Lists and Tables Signs Case Presentations For Ophthalmologists Kenn Freedman MD PhD Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Lubbock, Texas USA Disclaimer and Acknowledgments The differential diagnoses and lists contained herein are not meant to be exhaustive, but are to give in most cases the most common causes of many ocular / visual symptoms, signs and situations. Included also in these lists are also some less common, but serious conditions that must be “ruled-out”. These lists have been based on years of experience, and I am grateful for God’s help in developing them. I also owe gratitude to several sources* including Roy’s classic text on Ocular Differential Diagnosis. This of course will continue to be a work in progress and any concerns or suggestions as to errors or omissions or picture copyrights will be considered. Please feel free to contact me at
