Strabismus, also referred to as ‘a squint’, is where the eyes point in different directions. It is particularly common in young children, but can occur at any age. One of the eyes may turn in, out, up or down while the other eye looks ahead.
This text is a comprehensive guide to paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus for paediatric eye specialists.
Divided into two sections, the first part of the book covers paediatric eye examination and vision assessment, and the diagnosis and management of a multitude of ocular disorders including conjunctival inflammatory and allergic disorders, paediatric cataract and uveitis, retinopathy of prematurity, ocular and orbital neoplastic lesions, lid and adnexal anomalies, and many more.
The second part of the book covers different types of strabismus and its management, explaining both non-surgical and surgical techniques, and their potential complications. The text also touches upon strabismus in adults.
With contributions from world renowned experts in their field, this book is further enhanced by clinical images and figures.
