""The first impression gained from flicking through this small volume is the excellence of the photographs and illustrations, followed by great expectations of quality when viewing the list of contributors. The reader won't be disappointed! The book would be a welcome addition to any opthalmic department library of optometry practice. It would provide an excellent source of information on general ophthalmology knowledge and skills for orthoptists and orthoptic students. There is something in this volume for everyone.""
