Recenzje

"The book is concise yet wide ranging, with ample finely drawn illustrations and actual patient and surgical photos. ... The text is stepwise enough to benefit a novice or training surgeon, but would simultaneously be useful to a seasoned strabismologist looking to refresh in his mind a rare technique prior to the operation, or to try a new, novel technique such as the aforementioned central tenotomy." (Andrew L. Reynolds, American Orthoptic Journals, Vol. 66 (1), 2016)
