Two Classic Texts on Strabismus: Available to Read Online |
Binocular vision and ocular motility: theory and management of strabismus. Von Noorden. 2002.
This seminal text dealing with strabismus and binocular vision is one that will be read by many and will undoubtedly endure for many years. It is comprehensive and detailed with particular attention to the theory behind the management and treatment of strabismus.
Members can also borrow the printed version of this text from the College Library.
Strabismus: a decision making approach. Von Noorden & Helveston. 1994.
This text provides an orderly and logical approach to the common and less common forms of strabismus treatment to be followed as the patient is being examined. It is organised into two sections: preliminaries and diagnostic; and treatment decisions. The signs, symptoms and treatments are discussed through a brief description on the left hand page with the corresponding algorithm on the right.
The College Library also has several other books on these subjects. Contact the library for more information.
Gonioscopy.org and The Eye Pathologist: Two Online Resources To Help You Learn |
Gonioscopy.org is dedicated to teaching gonioscopy through the use of videography. It covers the basic examination techniques and more advanced techniques, such as indentation and the corneal wedge. There are video examples of most glaucoma-related diseases.
Sections include: history of gonioscopy, basic examination techniques, techniques for difficult angles, the normal angle, angle grading, and examples of diagnoses.
The Eye Pathologist is a web-based, instructional environment on the anatomy and pathology of the eye designed to emulate one-to-one interaction with an expert eye pathologist. It is designed for use by a wide range of health professionals from first-year medical students to ophthalmic pathologists as a teaching and reference tool.
A database of more than 5,000 diseases that affect vision and the eye as well as other tissues, lavishly illustrated with over 4,000 high quality images, includes dynamic links to a glossary of over 6,000 linked definitions. Sections include anatomy, pathology, exams, and a glossary.
The College Library also has several books on these subjects. Contact the library for more information. In the coming months, we'll continue to bring you more finds from the web.
Eye News and High Performance Optometry: Keeping Members Up To Date |
We know that our Members don't have the time to scan every optometric journal in order to stay up to date. However, we are also aware of the importance of keeping abreast of what's happening in one's field of interest and in optometry in general. As such, the College provides access to services and publications that seek to meet this need. Two such publications are featured below.
The College Library now subscribes to Eye News: The Bimonthly Review of Ophthalmology. Eye News is a unique publication keeping ophthalmologists and related professionals up-to-date on the latest developments in their field. Practical, accessible and valued by busy professionals, it includes journal and website reviews in every issue, lead articles on topical issues, photo essays, reports from the international conference scene, and more. This publication is also available electronically from the magazine's web site and in print at the College Library. Members wishing to consult past issues can do so by signing into the web site. Please contact the Librarian for user name and password.
Another current awareness resource provided for College Members is High Performance Optometry (HPO). HPO is a bimonthly round-up of what's being published in optometric journals. Members can read the whole issue, or consult the index for coverage of a particular subject. HPO is available here and requires Members to sign into the College web site.
If you would like to know more about these featured publications, or would like to know what else the Library can do to keep you up to date, please contact the Librarian.
