Provides thorough descriptions of the many binocular vision anomalies,
describes the necessary testing procedures to correctly diagnose each disorder,
and suggests the most appropriate management.

* Every topic area in binocular vision anomalies is included, from heterophoria
and accommodative disorders to severe strabismic disorders. * Discusses not
only the most common forms of treatment for a particular anomaly, but also
discusses less known but deserving treatment alternatives, providing the reader
with an understanding of the full range of treatment possibilities. * In each
chapter, an anomaly is identified, then classified according to its significant
symptoms and clinical findings. Once a diagnosis is certain, the appropriate
forms of treatment are discussed. * Editors Rutstein and Daum are well known
and respected in their field. They are scientists who have lectured
extensively, have written many articles and have a wealth of clinical
experience. * Organized to take the reader from the base to the tip of

integrative anomalies next, and motor anomalies last. * An invaluable reference
for both optometrists and ophthalmologists. * Features many references and case
studies. * Contains approximately 309 illustrations and photographs, providing
the reader with a clear, visual guide to the disorders and their management. *
