Color Atlas Of Strabismus Surgery (Hardcover)

Strabismus can be devastating to patients, yet often difficult to treat, even for the most seasoned veteran. Color Atlas Of Strabismus Surgery, Fifth Edition clearly and succinctly shares with the reader strategies and surgical techniques to improve the care of patients, starting with the simple basics and progressing to more complicated procedures. Updated from the successful fourth edition, the atlas is designed for resident ophthalmologists and experienced strabismologists alike. Complete with hundreds of color illustrations, Color Atlas Of Strabismus Surgery, Fifth Edition covers the management of a wide range of strabismus disorders, from the relatively simple horizontal strabismus, to the complex cyclo-vertical deviations. 

Dr. Kenneth W. Wright is devoted to the eye care of children and adults with strabismus. He is an internationally respected pediatric ophthalmologist and strabismus surgeon.  Dr. Wright started his carrier at USC Keck School of Medicine and Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles serving for 10 years. He then was Director of Pediatric Ophthalmology at The Cleveland Clinic for three years before returning to Los Angeles.  For over twenty years Dr. Wright has enjoyed teaching pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus fellows, and has alumni throughout the world.  Dr. Wright has authored more than 100 scientific research papers and 7 textbooks on ophthalmology and eye surgery including the renowned thousand-page text; Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, by Oxford University Press, the award-winning Atlas of Strabismus Surgery, by Springer Publishing, and the top selling book Pediatric Ophthalmology for Primary Care, by the American Academy of Pediatrics.  Dr. Wright founded the Wright Foundation for Pediatric Ophthalmology, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, whose mission is to reduce blindness and suffering from eye disorders in children and adults with strabismus through research, education, and clinical care.  An important aspect of the foundation is to serve the underprivileged.  Presently, he is Director of the Wright Foundation and has been appointed Adjunct professor at the prestigious Queen’s University in Kingston Canada.  Dr. Wright has operated on royalty, famous celebrities, and underserved children, but, however, as fate would have his youngest of five children developed crossed eyes in infancy.  Rather than refer out, Dr. Wright performed “early surgery” on his own son with great results, as his son later became a top sharp shooter in the US Marines Corp. Many refer to Dr Wright as the GOAT of pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus.
