Fixing My Gaze
Author: Susan R. Barry
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 078674474X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
A revelatory account of the brain's capacity for change When neuroscientist Susan Barry was fifty years old, she experienced the sense of immersion in a three dimensional world for the first time. Skyscrapers on street corners appeared to loom out toward her like the bows of giant ships. Tree branches projected upward and outward, enclosing and commanding palpable volumes of space. Leaves created intricate mosaics in 3D. Barry had been cross-eyed and stereoblind since early infancy. After half a century of perceiving her surroundings as flat and compressed, on that day she saw the city of Manhattan in stereo depth for first time in her life. As a neuroscientist, she understood just how extraordinary this transformation was, not only for herself but for the scientific understanding of the human brain. Scientists have long believed that the brain is malleable only during a "critical period" in early childhood. According to this theory, Barry's brain had organized itself when she was a baby to avoid double vision - and there was no way to rewire it as an adult. But Barry found an optometrist who prescribed a little-known program of vision therapy; after intensive training, Barry was ultimately able to accomplish what other scientists and even she herself had once considered impossible. Dubbed "Stereo Sue" by renowned neurologist Oliver Sacks, Susan Barry tells her own remarkable journey and celebrates the joyous pleasure of our senses.

Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
Written mainly for pediatric ophthalmologists and strabismologists, but also of great value to trainees, this text guides the reader through the thought processes needed for successful management of strabismus. Through the repeated use of icons, all material is designated as either basic, advanced, important points, pearls, or myths, and there is frequent use of case presentations from the author’s consultation files. Strabismus - Practical Pearls Not Found in Textbooks. starts where the other standard texts leave off. It contains a distillation of the many practical “pearls” that Dr. Kushner has accumulated and shared with residents and fellows over a 40 year career with a tertiary care practice in strabismus. It describes the nuances in decision-making with a discussion of pros and cons of many treatment approaches and hypothesis and attempts to simulate the experience of spending time in clinic with a seasoned mentor who is passionate about teaching.

Strabismus Surgery
Author: David A. Plager
Publisher: American Academy of Ophthalmol
ISBN: 9780195170238
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Strabismus Surgery: Basic and Advanced Strategies is an addition to the field of eye muscle surgery that combines the work of four leading ophthalmologists, representing the teaching from some of the premier pediatric ophthalmology/strabismus fellowship training programs in the United States. The emphasis of this book is not on the nuts and bolts of how to perform strabismus surgery, but rather on what, why, and when to do it. In short, the authors share their experiences and, by extension, that of their many mentors to provide systematic coverage of surgical strategies and important examination techniques for anyone performing strabismus surgeries. Included are strategies for surgical planning for everything from common horizontal muscle recession to the most challenging restrictive, paretic, or oblique muscle reoperation. In a unique roundtable type format, each author was given the opportunity to comment on the work of the other authors, which helps insure a balanced approach with alternative workable strategies when appropriate. The book's value is further enhanced by the contributions and commentary of two of the world's most revered strabismologists of the twentieth century -- Marshall M. Parks and Gunter K. von Noorden. Their contributions include helpful pearls of wisdom and historical vignettes derived from their combined nearly 100 years of experience in this field. Anyone with an interest in strabismus surgery will enjoy reading this book. Book jacket.

Strabismus Surgery
Author: Irene Ludwig
Publisher: Thieme
ISBN: 1638534748
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 827
Book Description
A unique how-to guide on surgical management of strabismus from top experts in the field! Strabismus correction is the third most common ophthalmic surgery in the US, with 1.2 million procedures performed each year. Strabismus Surgery: Innovative and Classic Approaches by renowned pediatric ophthalmologist Irene H. Ludwig provides comprehensive coverage of strabismus treatment – featuring state-of-the-art techniques based on recent anatomical research and discoveries. Throughout the text and accompanying videos, an impressive group of contributors share clinical pearls and firsthand knowledge. Recent research shows that strabismus has a mechanical etiology more frequently than previously thought, and that by directly correcting the mechanical defects, more targeted correction is possible than with traditional approaches. Accordingly, the book is organized by mechanism rather than strabismic deviations and patterns. Presented in four parts, each of which is further delineated by sections, this unique textbook includes 36 chapters starting with the fascinating history of strabismus surgery and concluding with future possible treatments. Key Highlights New surgical techniques designed to correct muscle displacements and muscle defects related to abnormalities of the extraocular muscle pulleys and intermuscular bands Recognition and repair of stretched scar and flap tear A section dedicated to CNS-related causes of strabismus discusses state-of-the-art surgical approaches for conditions including nystagmus and cranial nerve palsies A comprehensive summary of injection techniques using botulinum toxin and bupivacaine to correct strabismus, particularly in otherwise inoperable conditions Over ninety strabismus surgery videos demonstrate a full spectrum of basic to advanced techniques Remarkable illustrations beautifully capture the complex anatomy of the eye muscles and pulleys The mechanistic approaches described in this outstanding resource will help trainees and seasoned ophthalmologists achieve more precise and lasting results.
