This highly illustrated book on one of the commonest eye disorders addresses both the effects and treatment of the condition itself, and the indications for associated underlying disease. Strabismus in patients of all ages is discussed, making the book an important and useful reference especially for clinical ophthalmologists and those in training, as well as for general physicians needing to understand the association with other disease. The comprehensive text discusses every type of strabismus, the investigations and the various approaches to management, both surgical and non-surgical. Written by one of the world's leading authorities, this is an ideal reference for anyone managing patients with inherited or adult onset strabismus.
