Eye Motility

This comprehensive, clinically-grounded textbook, now in its fourth edition, supports orthoptists and ophthalmologists in decision-making through the patient care process, from presentation to discharge. Written by authors with extensive experience in teaching and research, Diagnosis and Management of Ocular Motility Disorders offers a clear and practical overview of assessment and management principles and further explores the clinical features of specific disorders, from amblyopia and infantile strabismus to supranuclear and infranuclear disorders, as well as other miscellaneous disorders of ocular movement. A brand new chapter on congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders reflects recent advances in gene mapping and increased understanding of this condition, and a new appendix provides surgical dose tables for easy reference. Now in full colour throughout, with additional diagrams and photographs of surgical techniques, this remains the key reference text for orthoptic and ophthalmic professionals managing patients with eye movement disorders.

Visual processing refers to the ability to perceive three-dimensional images. To accomplish this, our eyes have to be perfectly tuned and work together. Each eye perceives a slightly different image that the brain then has to unite into a single three-dimensional picture. This book explains the motor and sensory steps necessary for forming binocular and stereo vision, discusses tests to assess the different steps and describes disruptions that can occur in the eyes and the brain. Because of the sensitivity of the developing child's eye, the book also addresses the assessment of children's vision. This book will appeal to ophthalmologists, paediatricians, neurologists and other interested readers.

Professor Ida Lucy Iacobucci, Certified Orthoptist, presents updated material on the many advances made in the field of orthoptic management of strabismus since her original text was first published in 1980. Miss Ida, as she likes to be called, shares a lifetime of experience as a clinician and teacher to educate the reader on the theory, science and practice of diagnosis and treatment of strabismus. Drawn directly from her lectures to ophthalmology residents, fellows and orthoptic students at the University of Michigan, this book is an outstanding companion to traditional textbooks and an excellent reference for established practitioners. The author?s careful attention to detail and thoroughness pave a path to success in this challenging field. This book is an asset to medical educational programs world-wide, wherever orthoptic management of strabismus is taught.

The aim of this book has always been to give guidance on thediagnosis and treatment of ocular motility disorders based onclinical experience, as opposed to a comprehensive treatise on thesubject drawn from the primary literature. The Third Edition sees a new team of authors who have kept verymuch to this priniciple in their nevertheless thorough revision ofthe book. Whilst there are no new chapters as such, the immediateimpact of the revision is in the improved page layout withincreased use of diagrams and flowcharts. There are new sections onfeigned visual loss in adults and children, the management ofresidual defects and the section on botulinum toxin treatment inchapter 8 will be re-written to take account of the great advancesin this form of treatment.

This book describes the abnormal eye movements encountered in the critical care unit in everyday practice and elaborates on the mechanism and clinical significance behind them. Beginning with a thorough grounding of the basic anatomy and physiology ocular motor system and how they move the eyeballs; chapters explore the pathological descriptions of all the signs that a practicing neurologist, ophthalmologist, or emergency medicine specialist might see in other ICU's, as well as the diagnostic and prognostic evidence to answer the consult questions. Further chapters describe the abnormal ocular movements seen in the Neuro-ICU, Eye Movements in the Critical Care Setting is a comprehensive resource on eye movement in the critical care setting, and a useful guide for the neurologist, ophthalmologist, and emergency medical specialist and residents alike.

There is a need for comprehensive books that provide crucial information in a clear and direct manner, particularly in the medical field. Currently, there are limited resources available to students and clinicians that provide step-by-step procedures with pictures on how to examine the eye in the pediatric population. The Pediatric Eye Exam Quick Reference Guide: Office and Emergency Room Procedures is a clinical procedure book to provide step-by-step pediatric eye care examination techniques and is an important addition to the field of eye care. The chapters are written by leading pediatric optometrists and ophthalmologists in the field. Years of academic and clinical experiences from schools of optometry, hospital-based eye care, and private practice are all presented in a user-friendly format with clinical pearls and insights that will help any clinician perform a pediatric eye exam easily and efficiently. Covering a range of critical topics such as pupil examination, visual field testing, refraction, and ocular emergencies and providing pictures, it is ideal for all students, residents, academicians, trainers, and novel and seasoned clinicians who are interested in learning how to examine a pediatric patient and staying on top of the latest pediatric eye care procedures.

This book explains why, when, and how to treat eye motility disorders. It starts with a discussion of the general principles of eye motility and its importance in creating binocular single vision with depth perception. It also reviews the most important parts and functions of the sensory and motor eye motility system for those new to the field of ophthalmology. The book also describes different types of strabismus and the treatment for each type. Special care is taken to explain the difference between causes, diagnostics, and treatment of eye motility disorders in children with immature visual system and, on the other side, in adult cases when development is already finished. It describes the steps of orthoptic assessment, with a special interest in tests for binocularity. It also presents different conservative treatment possibilities, including glasses, prisms, orthoptic exercise, Botox, and so on. In cases where conservative treatment is not enough, surgery is the method of choice. The choice of surgical treatment depends on the age of the patient, the type of strabismus, and the muscle involved. The book thus presents the principles of surgeries along with explanations and figures.
