The Ocular Muscles, a Practical Handbook on the Muscular Anomalies of the Eye

"The Ocular Muscles, A Practical Handbook On The Muscular Anomalies Of The Eye" by Howard F. Hansell and Wendell Reber. This book provides a comprehensive survey of the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the extraocular muscles, including detailed descriptions of ocular palsies, structural and functional anomalies, diagnostic tests such as prisms, Maddox rod, tropometer, and various orthoptic exercises. It covers the innervation and vascular supply, the spiral of insertions, Tenon's capsule, and the fascia; it discusses the theory of innervation, the law of projection and direction, and the concept of binocular vision and stereopsis. The work includes practical guidance on diagnosis by exclusion, classification of heterophoria and heterotropia, and surgical techniques such as tenotomy, advancement, and wedge resections. It aims to aid clinicians in diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions affecting binocular single vision and ocular motility, combining anatomy, physiology, clinical signs, and operative methods.
