Further, it encourages ophthalmologists who do not usually deal with strabismus patients to identify and manage uncomplicated cases. It discusses various management options, including the guidelines for refraction and spectacle prescription, which are often neglected. Separate chapters on surgical planning, horizontal muscle surgery and complications make strabismus surgery a reality for all eye surgeons. Lastly, the book addresses practical issues like parent counseling and alternatives to surgery.
