Rezensionen

From the reviews of the third edition:

"This textbook is an atlas that covers the management of a wide range of strabismus disorders using surgical techniques of varying complexity. It is an updated third edition ... and intended for 'surgeons of diverse experience, from the resident ophthalmologist to the most experienced stabismologist.' ...Overall, I greatly enjoyed this excellently composed compendium of strabismus surgery." (Megumi Iizuka, American Orthoptic Journal, Vol. 57, 2007)

"The book has been written to serve as a practical text to teach strabismus surgical technique, with the incorporation of both line drawings and photographs of actual surgery. ... The book is intended to benefit both the resident ophthalmologist to develop his/her understanding of strabismus surgery and the experienced strabismologist, to learn nuances of strabismus surgery. All in all an excellent book to learn about strabismus surgery, next only to first hand experience." (Maneesh Kumar, Optometry Today, September, 2009)

"The book is concise yet wide ranging, with ample finely drawn illustrations and actual patient and surgical photos. ... The text is stepwise enough to benefit a novice or training surgeon, but would simultaneously be useful to a seasoned strabismologist looking to refresh in his mind a rare technique prior to the operation, or to try a new, novel technique such as the aforementioned central tenotomy." (Andrew L. Reynolds, American Orthoptic Journals, Vol. 66 (1), 2016)
