Strabologia – 2nd Edition + Video

Large format volume 21 x 28 cm, 648 pages, 500 illustrations, online contributions, hardcover binding.

Twenty years after the first edition, this second release of the volume, edited by Dr. Mariarosa Zanasi, represents a broad revision and update of the original work, dedicated to the memory of Prof. Bagolini and enriched by the contribution of experts in strabology: Andrea Piantanida, Giovanni Battista Marcon and Elisa Bellesini.

The text preserves the foundations of the previous edition while integrating the most recent developments in the diagnostic, physiopathological and therapeutic fields, particularly thanks to advances in neuroimaging. The new edition is enhanced by rich iconography, numerous illustrations, updated clinical cases and educational videos accessible via QR code, illustrating diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical aspects.

The aim is to provide a comprehensive training pathway, addressed not only to strabologists and orthoptists, but also to pediatricians and neuro-ophthalmologists, guiding them in the diagnosis and management of the various forms of strabismus and nystagmus.
