From the supplier: Eye movements must hold images steady on the retina through gaze-holding mechanisms, which include vestibular and optokinetic functions, and fixation. Another function of eye motion is to change line of sight so that the image is brought close to and held close to the fovea on the retina. Saccades, vergence and smooth pursuit make up the second group of eye movements. Certain abnormalities seen in an eye-movement examination may provide clues to underlying pathology and suggest treatments.

A collection of pearls of wisdom
This book provides very helpful and practical information on the art and science of strabismus management. Written by well-known ophthalmologist, it covers all major topics in this field in a concise format. I found it is particularly beneficial to learn the opinions through the comment among authors and contributions by Dr. Parks and Dr. von Noorden. It is a joyful learning experience to read this book.

Product Description
This new edition of Neurology of Eye Movements is a major revision providing clinicians with a synthesis of current and new scientific information that can be applied to the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of ocular motility. Basic scientists will also benefit from descriptions of how data from anatomic, electrophysiologic, pharmacologic, and imaging studies can be directly applied to the study of disease. By critically reviewing such basic studies, Drs. Leigh and Zee build a conceptual framework that can be applied to the interpretation of abnormal ocular motor behavior at the bedside. These syntheses are summarized in boxes, figures, schematics, and tables. Insights and techniques from current research, case examples, bedside and laboratory studies, and thousands of references are all available here from two leading clinician-scientists who have been studying eye movements for over a quarter century.The previous edition of Neurology of Eye Movements, Third Volume, established as acknowledged as a classic in the field, is now enhanced in this new edition by an accompanying DVD featuring the full text with links to 20 Video Displays that provide teaching slides ready for classroom presentation. Also on the DVD are 200 video clips, images, and the lectures notes Control Systems Applied to the Oculomotor System by David A. Robinson.

very sophisticated
This text is very sophisticated. I got lost in the details of it, and ended up returning. I think its beyond my level right now. Probably for someone who is toward the end of their Neurology or opthomolgy residency would highly benefit. Otherwise, its really brilliant,very in depth text.

Neurology of Eye Movements
Many medical textbooks merely describe the clinical features of eye movement disorders. What I enjoyed about this book was that the authors provide excellent descriptions and explanations of eye movement disorders.The explanations of why these disorders occur provided me with a depth of understanding that I did not have prior to reading this book.The chapters on eye movement physiology, anatomy and clinical disorders are very comprehensive, well written, up to date and well referenced.The book is also offered on a CD-ROM with videos of eye movement disorders.I strongly recommend this book.As a neurologist, this book will be very useful for my clinical practice.

Worthwhile update and great CD
This new edition of The Neurology of Eye Movements is well worth the wait.The addition of the CD is significant and the videos on it are well-done and clearly visible.You can read all you want about oscillopsias (orother clinical disorders), but until you see one with the text nearby, it'sjust not clear.Well done.

This reference is lucid, concise, and easy to use.
This reference is lucid, concise, and easy to use. It takes the point of view of the neurologist which is a higher plane than that of clinical eyecare, but it reads like a novel.The first half explains the structuresand their functions (theory), and the last half explains thedifferentialdiagnosis and therapies. Each chapter ends with the most extensive and upto date bibliography I have ever seen.Explanations such as how todistinguish the retic muscle are in plain language, clearer than most, andthere is no redundancyin text or illustrations. The Leigh-Zee eye book isdefinitely a keeper for clinical reference. ... Read more
