Description
The first section covers the general assessment and investigation of the squinting patient, before considering whether surgery is the
best form of treatment. The second section addresses common squint disorders, describing the conditions and highlighting the surgical
options to be considered. The final section provides a step-by-step account of the surgical procedures, indicating when they should
be used, and illustrating specific techniques.
This is an essential manual for trainees in clinical practice and those preparing
for examinations who need to know how to competently manage this commonly encountered disorder. Optometrists will also find it of great
value when managing these patients both pre- and post-operatively.
Audience:
Ophthalmology residents, optometrists
