Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Wonderful textbook! Definitive “necessary read” for those managing nystagmus.

⭐This is superb and valuable text. Although the information is highly technical, the authors present it in a very useful and reader-friendly format. Links to an associated website provide the clinician with additional summaries, research papers, and patient handouts. I can not imagine a more comprehensive, deep, extensive, detailed and fascinating exposition on nystagmus.One quick warning: apparently the Preface and Table of Contents were inadvertently omitted from some copies. This text is MUCH less useful without these pages. If purchasing a used copy, ask the seller to check that these pages are not missing.
