About this book
Refraction and Muscular Imbalance as Simplified Through the Use of the Ski-Optometer is a comprehensive and practical guide authored by Giles Christopher Savage, M.D., that delves into the complexities of ocular refraction and the diagnosis and management of muscular imbalances of the eyes. Drawing on years of clinical experience, Dr. Savage presents a clear and accessible approach to understanding the principles of refraction—the bending of light as it passes through the eye—and the various conditions that can arise from errors in this process, such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Central to the book is the innovative use of the ski-optometer, a diagnostic instrument designed to simplify and enhance the accuracy of eye examinations. Dr. Savage meticulously explains the construction, operation, and advantages of the ski-optometer, demonstrating how it can be employed to quickly and reliably assess both refractive errors and muscular imbalances. The text is richly illustrated with diagrams and case studies, providing step-by-step instructions for practitioners to follow in their own practice. In addition to technical guidance, the book explores the underlying anatomy and physiology of the eye, the mechanics of binocular vision, and the causes and consequences of muscular imbalances such as strabismus and heterophoria. Dr. Savage emphasizes the importance of early detection and appropriate correction, offering practical advice on the prescription of lenses and the use of therapeutic exercises. Written in a style that is both authoritative and approachable, Refraction and Muscular Imbalance as Simplified Through the Use of the Ski-Optometer serves as an invaluable resource for ophthalmologists, optometrists, medical students, and anyone interested in the science of vision. It stands as a testament to Dr. Savage's commitment to advancing the field of ophthalmology and improving patient care through innovation and education.
