Reviews

This book is a great reference for primary care optometrists and optometry students looking to incorporate basic diagnosis and management of binocular vision disorders. It outlines how to perform all testing to assess for the most common and even some rare conditions. The update is well done and incorporates many new tables, graphics, and case studies.
