A quick and practical reference book with step-by-step explanation of various techniques of squint surgery represents an invaluable resource to the busy general ophthalmologists as well as postgraduate students. There are very few quality books which teach us practically how to do the basic steps in strabismus surgery. The purpose of this book is to present basic principles and technique of squint surgery in a step-by-step and easy-to-understand manner. The squint surgery is a combination of dexterity, knowledge, judgment and experience which is gleaned over many years of practice. In this book, the stalwarts in strabismology have privileged us with their experience, which is definitely carried over in the contents of this excellent guide. Theoretical learning of squint surgery must always be supported by a positive practical training and this book aims to help in giving that guidance. This book is written in a clear, logical and structured format with many illustrations, diagrams, photographs and is also coupled with high quality surgical video footage. This book is divided into four sections, viz. preoperative considerations, preferred surgical techniques, postoperative considerations and recent advances; in which highly regarded and expert strabismologists have presented their strategic thinking in this field and described the nuances of squint surgery in a simple yet very effective, step-by-step and lucid approach. The opportunity of first- hand studying all the thoughtful chapters from distinguished faculties in strabismology. This book useful for strabismus surgeons, ophthalmologists and residents.

The significant progress in the understanding of the pathogenesis and the treatment of Graves' orbitopathy (GO) has warranted a second edition of this book within three years of the first. Now also fully incorporated is the EUGOGO consensus statement on management of GO, which since has been accepted worldwide as a useful guideline. Furthermore all chapters have been thoroughly updated. Subjects covered include the pathology of GO and the controversial views on its pathogenesis; assessment of changes using reliable measuring techniques; medical management of GO including established and alternative treatment options; technical explanations and illustrations of various surgical procedures and finally, the molecular, immunologic, and clinical aspects of this complex disorder. Two new chapters have been added: one describing the socioeconomic impact of the disease and the other outlining the Amsterdam Declaration on Graves' Orbitopathy. The successful question-and-answer format facilitates its use as a reference guide for medical practitioners and surgeons working in the fields of ophthalmology, internal medicine, endocrinology, pediatrics, immunology, as well as otorhinolaryngology.

Thirty years ago, our attention was drawn to the alphabetical incom itances in strabismus. As an elevation in adduction is the most frequent incomitance, we decided to start treating these incomitances. A weak ening procedure of the inferior oblique muscle seemed indicated. How ever, since we wanted to prevent a torsional overcorrection with a head tilt, we displaced the scleral insertion of the oblique muscle towards the equator of the globe. This way, the torsional action of the muscles is saved. A weakening of the horizontal rectus muscles was systematically added, making it a simultaneous horizontal and cyclovertical surgery. Our way to deal with strabismus developed into a coherent entity and the interest of colleagues encouraged us to write it down.We decided to publish a textbook with a theoretical and an extensive practical part. Our approach is based on thirty years of exclusive strabological work, half-time academic and half-time private practice. More than 6500 re sults were analysed and the majority have been published. The con cerned publications are referred to at the end of the first chapter. Private practice allowed to benefit from the fact that patients were operated on by the same surgeon and remained in personal contact during follow-up.

This practical manual provides an introduction to the surgical and general management of strabismus and specific disorders. The text begins with coverage of the general assessment and investigation of the squinting patient and guidance on whether or not 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, illustrating specific techniques.

A trusted textbook for undergraduate students for more than 100 years, which also caters to the basic needs of postgraduate students and practitioners. The book was first published in 1907, and on account of its clear and friendly presentation style as well as its authoritative coverage of ocular disorders, it quickly became a fundamental text for students. Since then the book has maintained its popularity with students through regular revisions and updates. The 19th edition of this book was especially adapted to the context of Indian subcontinent with a special mention about the infections that occur predominantly in this region. The 22nd edition continues this trend by presenting unparalleled guidance on nearly every ophthalmic condition and procedure, including the latest advances in the field, making the book more comprehensive and contemporary.• Inclusion of Important Points to Remember at the end of the book• Addition of new clinical photographs, flowcharts, and tables to facilitate quick learning• Extensively revised and updated edition• Reader-friendly version with information highlighted in points, flow charts and tables• Information provided to help prepare for PG entrance and other competitive examinations

Ten years ago, the first edition of Graves’ Orbitopathy: A Multidisciplinary Approach was published. Since then, the book has become very popular and much has happened in the field to warrant a third edition. What has not changed is the successful and attractive question-and-answer format of the book. In the 3rd, revised and expanded edition, new chapters have been added on co-morbidity, local treatment modalities, novel immunosuppressive therapy, detailed protocols, and questions frequently asked by patients. All chapters of the previous edition have been thoroughly updated. Subjects covered then include the pathology of Graves’ Orbitopathy (GO) and the controversial views on its pathogenesis; assessment of changes using reliable measuring techniques; medical management of GO including established and alternative treatment options; technical explanations and illustrations of various surgical procedures; and finally, the molecular, immunologic, and clinical aspects of this complex disorder. Additionally, ample consideration is given to the new 2016 ETA/EUGOGO guidelines on the management of GO.
