BOOK REVIEWS
In lay terms, the authors describe the functioning of the normal eye and the most common causes, of blindness in chil dren. They identify differences in the needs of the child with limited sight and those of the child with no useful vision, and suggest ways to help the partially sighted child make the most of his residu al vision. There is also a chapter on chil dren with multiple handicaps. Anecdotal illustrations of the various points will delight parents and teachers. The fact that the anecdotes deal with children and their families whom the primary author worked with over a period of many years adds to their value. This technique, as well as a clear and direct style, makes the book easy and interesting to read. The book gives examples of how blind children, followed to adulthood, have been raised to lead satifying and success ful lives. It will provide parents engaged in this demanding and challenging job with much needed emotional support and encouragement. Ophthalmologists will find it a valuable resource for parents of their young blind and partially sighted patients. It also will be of special interest to nurses, teachers, social workers, and other professionals who treat or work with children with visual handicaps.
etry, and ocular and retrobulbar diag noses. The section on physics is unen cumbered by mathematics, and effective illustrations are used to explain relevent concepts. Currently available scan modes are described, as are the advantages of one mode over another under varying clinical conditions. The authors stress the combined use of A-. and B-scan, particu larly immersion B-scan. The various cri teria for diagnosis of intraocular and or bital disease are covered in depth. Excel lent line drawings accompany each ultrasonogram and greatly aid in the interpre tation of the examples cited. Motion scan (M-scan) and Doppler are briefly, but adequately described. Several emerging experimental techniques are discussed. A succinct review of spectral analysis and color-coded real time amplitude ultrason ography is included, although a discus sion of the emerging phased array system is notably absent. This is presently the most comprehen sive text on ophthalmological diagnosis by ultrasound. The prose is straightfor ward and does not reflect the joint author ship. The compilation of cited bibli ography and additonal references listed according to subject make the text a clas sic.
