Strabismus is a subject which has always been looked with awe due to its complexity. Problems of binocular vision and ocular motility are the most common presentation in ophthalmology. But despite its prevalence due to misunderstanding of the subject its cases are either neglected or improperly treated or at least not treated in time. Though there are several books on strabismus, either they have been too theoretical or have dealt only one aspect like orthoptics or surgery alone. There was a lack of a simplified but comprehensive approach to strabismus. Strabismus Simplified fills up this lacuna. It has been lucidly written so as to demystify the mystic around the subject and clear the cobwebs of confusion. It covers the basic applied aspects, the clinical methods, the different diagnostic groups and non surgical and surgical management of strabismus. A separate chapter on common orthoptic instruments gives a practical touch to the beginner. In addition a comprehensive glossary is given so as to provide immediate help to the reader who reads the sections at random. It will be found useful by ophthalmology postgraduates, general ophthalmologists, medical students and optometrists and orthoptists. The stress is on understanding strabismus rather than providing factual information for rote memorization. It is profusely illustrated with over 255 illustrations.n/a
