Professor Ida Lucy Iacobucci, Certified Orthoptist, presents updated material on the many advances made in the field of orthoptic management of strabismus since her original text was first published in 1980.  Miss Ida, as she likes to be called, shares a lifetime of experience as a clinician and teacher to educate the reader on the theory, science, and practice of diagnosis and treatment of strabismus. 

Drawn directly from her lectures to ophthalmology residents, fellows, and orthoptic students at the University of Michigan, this book is an outstanding companion to traditional textbooks and an excellent reference for established practitioners.  The author’s careful attention to detail and thoroughness pave a path to success in this challenging field.  This book is an asset to medical educational programs worldwide, wherever orthoptic management of strabismus is taught. 

Clinical Approach to Ocular Motility: Characteristics and Orthoptic Management of Strabismus, Second Edition, is available for sale in print and ebook formats on Amazon.  Proceeds from sales will benefit the Ida Lucy Iacobucci Orthoptic Clinic at the University of Michigan.
