As in previous editions, the aim of the third edition of this book is to provide guidance on the diagnosis and management of ocular motility disorders which is based on clinical experience. This edition sees a new team of authors who have kept very much to this principle in their nevertheless thorough revision of the book. All chapters have been comprehensively revised and updated and a new chapter on an 'Introduction to concomitant strabismus' has been added. The immediate impact of this extensive revision can be seen in the improved page layout with increased use of diagrams and tables. There are also new sections on feigned visual loss in adults and children, and the management of residual defects, whilst the section on botulinum toxin treatment has been completely rewritten to take account of the great advances in this form of treatment.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The sections on ocular movements, ocular deviation and binocular function are excellent; they are concise, brief, practical and are evidence of the authors' practical and commonsense approach... The middle sections on non-surgical and surgical management follow in the same concise manner and I was very impressed with the clear description of complications and the suggestions that were made about the management... It is an excellent book and it deserves to do well as it is destined to!"--David Taylor (Eye) "This is a comprehensive text that will appeal to all orthoptists (undergraduates and postgraduates), opthalmologists and other opthalmic professions with an interest in binocular vision. It is an essential text for orthoptists as part of their departmental and personal libraries."--Liz Tomlin (British Orthoptic Journal, Vol 59, 2002)
