This treatise was written to facilitate the study and understanding of orthoptics, a complex discipline that may appear challenging but is undeniably fascinating. Learning is enhanced through extensive illustrations depicting clinical scenarios and diagnostic and therapeutic pathways.

The illustrated presentation of numerous clinical cases supports both beginners approaching orthoptics and ophthalmologists or orthoptist assistants with limited clinical experience. The rich iconography provides valuable guidance for diagnostic assessment and therapeutic decision-making.

The reader is guided from the foundations of orthoptics to modern concepts of strabology. Both established diagnostic and therapeutic methods and approaches derived from the authors’ clinical experience are presented, with particular focus on topics often underrepresented in standard textbooks.

Significant attention is devoted to the laws governing ocular motility, the foundations of sensorimotor unity, and the physiopathology and prevention of strabismus sequelae, especially concerning binocular vision.

An entire chapter addresses the diagnostic and therapeutic role of optical management, including spectacle correction and contact lenses. Nystagmus is presented in a deliberately simple and educational manner, aiming to make a complex topic accessible even to non-specialists.
