This monograph comprises a unique compilation of 12 chapters representing original research of the authors and supported by a comprehensive review on the topic. All chapters are well-illustrated, well-tabulated, linguistically lucid and easy to understand. The uniqueness of this monograph lies in the fact that it elucidates some of the most cited strabismus research in the last two decades which has led to fundamental changes in the understanding of ocular misalignment and its management, all within one cover. In doing so, it provides a synopsis of research articles covered in at least 50 journals, thus aiding both the novice and the experienced strabismologist in accessing easily available literature on the subject, by the same authors of those research articles. The contributors are from many countries - Argentina, Brazil, Germany, India, the United Kingdom and the United States of America - thus assimilating different practice patterns and research styles in one book. Conforming to the theme of strabismus prevalence, recognition and management, the monograph overviews certain "newer" forms of "neuro-anatomical" strabismus associated with abnormal orbital anatomy and connective tissue morphology like age-related strabismus (sagging eye syndrome) and myopic strabismus, provides the constellation of symptoms and signs of ocular misalignment associated with brain injury, updates the readers on the genetics of strabismus, describes newer imaging modalities that have been used in strabismus diagnostics like optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and high resolution surface coil orbital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), elucidates innovative experimental studies delineating the normal and abnormal physiology of ocular movements, emphasizes certain unique strabismus surgical modalities that have gained popular attention in this decade, namely lateral rectus split with nasal transposition as well as rectus extraocular muscle plication and also provides a vast and extensive overview of the pharmacological management of strabismus with botulinum toxin type A (BTXA). It is anticipated that this unique compendium finds a place in the academic arsenal of all strabismologists as a ready reference book.

As a degenerative disorder of the eye, keratoconus can cause substantial distortion of vision, with multiple images, streaking, and sensitivity to light all reported by patients. Keratoconus: Recent Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment updates ophthalmologists about the innovations that have occurred within the last decade, discussing the diagnostic imaging techniques that have been developed for keratoconus diagnosis, understanding of how examination techniques are related to the evolution of keratoconus, and how to indicate the different therapeutic tools that have been created for keratoconus over the last several years. Additionally, fundamentals for new diagnostic elements, based on the mathematical, physical and biomechanical data are analyzed in depth for a better understanding of the essential diagnostic steps for the clinician to guide patients towards the most adequate therapeutic tool in the case. Modern keratoplasty techniques, assisted by femtosecond lasers or other devices, are also covered and these techniques, along with the emerging conservative treatments, have added to more precise control of the evolution of the disease.

OCT is a relatively new imaging technique that is becoming increasingly popular among ophthalmologists in both private and academic settings. Imaging has been a slow moving area in ophthalmology for some time, but now OCT is providing another, more detailed source of demonstrable change in the eye, in diagnostic, therapeutic or post-surgical setting. OCT and ultrasound both measure advancing disease states and post surgical healing. The difference is that OCT shows more subtle changes, particularly post-surgically.
