5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for any serious strabismologist

As a university-based adult strabismus surgeon with over 20 years of experience, I have read many strabismus texts, great and small. Most are just collecting dust on a shelf now. Dr. Kushner's Practical Pearls is the text I repeatedly return to, and I always find something new and valuable. It is now required reading for my surgical fellows.

Great Book. I am a pediatric ophthalmologist and I have almost all the strabismus books published since 1980.
This ONE stands alone. It is true that you will find Practical Tips from one of the great masters of Strabismus.

Die versprochenen Perlen entpuppten sich als Grundwissen der Strabologie, teilweise des gesunden Menschenverstands. Für Orthoptisten absolut nicht zu empfehlen. Im Anhang einige Beispiele, ich werde das Buch zurückschicken.

Gran manual para aprender pequeñas perlas que de otra manera no se aprenderían, o llevaría mucho tiempo por sí mismo. No es un libro para principiantes, es necesario tener una base. Ha sido un gran descubrimiento.
