Product Description
Eye movements are a key factor in human vision. During steady state fixation where the visual attention is voluntarily centred on a fixation estimulous, the eye shows involuntary small movements that exhibit an erratic trajectory. This book describes fixational eye movements, their mathematical models, and the factors that affect fixation. Also explored, herein, is Congential Nystagmus, which is one of the diseases that affect binocular vision, reducing the visual quality of a subject, saccadic eye movements, eye movement patterns in hemispatial neglect and eye-gaze input systems used by people with severe disabilities. ...

Product Description
There are many great neuro-ophthalmology texts available ranging from huge encyclopedic tomes to small, detailed resources. Combining the best features of these books, Atlas of Neuro-ophthalmology offers a glimpse into a wide variety of rare and unusual neuro-ophthalmic disorders. Long recognized as a leading authority on the optic nerve, Tom Spoor distills his years of experience into this superbly illustrated atlas.

The book is a completely revised and updated version of Dr. Spoor's original Atlas of Optic Nerve Disorders (1992). He addresses all aspects of the optic nerve and its disorders-such as optic atrophy, neuropathy, and nerve tumors-making this an essential book for practitioners and students. The inclusion of basic and advanced topics makes it an ideal study guide and the superb illustrations make it a practical diagnostic tool. ... Read more

Product Description
All motor behavior is characterized by sensory inputs causing specific motor reactions. Because humans modify motor reactions voluntarily or through experience, this input-output relation is more complex in humans than in lower vertebrates. Eye movements provide a window on fundamental brain function, not only for topographic diagnosis of dysfunctions but also for the comprehension of normal brain function. This book highlights basic mechanical properties of eye movements, explains the neuronal basis of the vestibular-ocular reflex, saccadic eye movements, smooth-pursuit eye movements, and vergence eye movements, and deals with their pharmacological manipulation in disorders. Since precise measurement of motor reactions is essential for understanding the oculomotor system, one chapter critically discusses current registration methods, and another one considers the possibilities and limitations of modeling it by control theory methods. Its comprehensive characterization of eye movements and their relation to brain function makes this publication essential reading to ophthalmologists, neurologists, and clinical neuropsychologists. ...

Product Description
The aim of eye muscle surgery is to restore alignment of the visual axes and ocular stability. Albeit compensatory and largely empirical, this surgery can be perfected with a better understanding of the physiopathological mechanisms involved, more detailed semiological analysis, the taking into account of intra-operative data and the use of microsurgical techniques. The three parts of this book allow each of these factors to be discussed at length.

Part one covers the basic data relevant to strabismus surgery, with detailed analysis of the effect of different surgical procedures on oculomotor equilibrium and dynamics and their application to any given disorder. The psychological aspects of strabismus surgery are also discussed.

Part two gives a full description of the different types of anaesthesia, surgical instruments, and all current operative techniques, covering the aspects of surgical access to, and operations on, the rectus and oblique muscles. Repeat surgery, surgical incidents and complications are treated in a separate chapter.

Part three provides the surgical strategy to be followed in individual disorders, whether these be concomitant, paralytic or mechanical, and in nystagmus.

A complete and comprehensive text on eye muscle surgery, the clinical and surgical material fully illustrated with drawings and photographs, this book will be of interest to students as well as the experienced ophthalmologist and orthoptist.

Product Description
An ideal resource for anyone involved in eye care - students, opticians, optometrists, and ophthalmologists - this resource provides comprehensive coverage of the diagnosis and management of common eye and vision problems. Key topics include procedures for myopia control or reduction, as well as the co-management of refractive surgery and ocular disease. This book is also an excellent guide to detecting systemic diseases that can have an effect on the visual system.

• Complete coverage of key optometric skills, including:
• how to take a comprehensive ocular and health history
• how to thoroughly investigate ocular health status
• how to perform a thorough refractive and binocular vision examination
• how to prescribe corrective lenses and/or vision therapy
• how to co-manage refractive surgery and ocular disease.
• Comprehensive discussions of the theory behind each optometric procedure.
• An emphasis on current non-surgical methods of myopia control and reduction, as well as methods of caring for patients with impaired vision.
• A logical organization, divided into three main parts: anomalies of refraction and binocular vision, optometric examination, and diagnosis and management.
• In-depth coverage of topics that include: objective refraction, subjective refraction, binocular vision examination, corneal topography measurement, ophthalmic lenses, geriatric optometry, vision impairment, control of myopia, and management of ocular diseases in a primary care optometric practice.

Product Description

Information on many genetic disorders, and the frequent new findings on them, has been extremely difficult to come by—until now. The “Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders” addresses the need for current, hard-to-find facts on emerging discoveries. The two-volume Encyclopedia, presented in a single alphabetical sequence, provides clear, complete information on genetic disorders, including conditions, tests, procedures, treatments and therapies, in articles that are both comprehensive and easy to understand, in language accessible to laypersons. The articles are arranged in a standardized format for quick comparison and ease of use, while non-disorder topics are covered in detail with extended entries. Students will want to consult the “Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders” for useful information on a range of well known disorders, including Down Syndrome, Trisomy, Hemophilia and Tourette Syndrome, and rarely seen diseases such as Meckel Syndrome, Neuraminidase Deficiency and Phenylketonuria.
