Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus
This carefully balanced volume is divided into six major sections with 43 chapters, moving from epidemiological and developmental aspects through diagnostic and investigative guidelines, and from general principles of management to a detailed and systematic consideration of specific disease states. Each problem-orientated section consists of a two- to five-page analysis of a particular clinical situation, guidelines as to the probable causes and full references for further study. Throughout the book, particular care has been taken to integrate ophthalmological concerns with an optimal care plan for the child's overall health.
