"The strength of this book lies in the richness and immediate accessibility of its clinical content" -- Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology "In its clarity and completeness of presentation, upon a "quick read," of the entire monograph one might get the notion that eye movement analysis is straight forward with mastery readily within reach." -- Verne Caviness, M.D., D.Phil (Oxon) "This is a very useful book and unique in the sense that it has a lot of information, rarely found elsewhere, on the role and influence of the brain and the nerves on eye movement disorders." -- Biz India Book Review "Dr. Shirley Wray is a consummate neuro-ophthalmological educator as evidenced in this outstanding book. Her approach enables the book to be useful for Ophthalmology and Neurology residents who want the simple basics of eye movements, as well as for experienced specialists who need detailed information about specific issues.


The eye movement disorders resulting from lesions in various regions of the brain are highlighted by illustrious case descriptions, with succinct ''Clinical Points to Remember'' ending each appropriate section. For me, this single authored book gets a WOW, and will be of great value to Ophthalmology and Neurology trainees, and practitioners, particularly those with educational roles." --Robert B. Daroff, MD, Professor and Chair Emeritus, Department of Neurology, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, OH "Eye Movement Disorders in Clinical Practice by Shirley Wray is a real gem. Dr. Wray covers important subjects like eye movements in coma, vertigo, diplopia, pursuit, saccades, and nystagmus. An award winning professor and educator, Dr. Wray truly has left a legacy for trainees, clinicians and other educators as an example of making a very technical and often complicated subject--eye movements--readily accessible to clinicians of all levels.


This book is a must-have for anyone who sees patients with abnormalities of eye movements, eyelids, dizziness and for anyone who teaches any aspect of the clinical eye movement examination. Researchers could benefits from this book as well, since Dr. Wray translates difficult research concepts into understandable clinical terms." --Kathleen B. Digre, MD, Professor Neurology, Ophthalmology, Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah "Eye Movement Disorders in Clinical Practice, by Dr. Shirley Wray, presents eye movement disorders in a full-color, highly illustrative format. The inclusion of numerous diagrams and tables, as well as videos, make this book very attractive. Eye movement disorders are explained in a practical yet comprehensive manner, which makes this book an excellent learning tool for anyone trying to unerstand the intricate relationship between eye movement disorders, and their underlying neuroanatomy and pathophysiology.


" --Valerie Biousse, MD, Professor of Ophthalmology and Neurology, Cyrus H. Stoner Professor of Ophthalmology, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA "Eye movement disorders are commonly encountered in neurologic and ophthalmic practice, but are often tricky to diagnose and manage. In Eye Movement Disorders in Clinical Practice, Dr. Wray uses a systematic approach to introduce and discuss eye movement disorders. The text is clear, conversational, and covers the full spectrum of eye movement disorders. Dr. Wray draws on cases that she has encountered over the course of her career to illustrate the concepts discussed. These cases have been meticulously documented and are a highlight of the text, often being definitive examples of the disorder under consideration.


Overall, this book is a welcome addition to the neuro-ophthalmic literature and is highly recommended for trainees, as well as for practicing Neurologists and Ophthalmologists." --Matthew J. Thurtell, MBBS, FRACP, Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences University of Iowa "It was a real pleasure to read this book. Eye Movement Disorders in Clinical Practice is a keeper! I would recommend it to neurology and ophthalmology trainees and senior clinicians alike." --World Neurology.
