Agnes M. F. Wong, MD, PhD, FRCSC received her undergraduate degree
from Boston University. She then obtained her MD degree from McGill
University and completed her residency in Ophthalmology at the
University of Toronto. After that, she completed a PhD in
Neuroscience and clinical fellowship in Neuro-Ophthalmology at the
University of Toronto. This was followed by a combined research and
clinical fellowship in pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus
at
Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Wong is currently Associate
Professor of Ophthalmology &Vision Science, Neurology, and
Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Toronto.
"A simple, clear manual for neophytes and experts, scientists and
clinicians. Rich in color diagrams, which are keys to understanding
each movement and pathway. The easy-reading crib notes complement
the classic tomes of ocular motility."--Lawrence Tychsen, MD,
Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Pediatrics, Anatomy
and Neurobiology, Washington University School of Medicine
"This unique book offers an exceptionally well-organized approach
to eye movement disorders. The clever format and numerous color
illustrations make this a very readable and practical text for both
trainees and clinicians."--Martin W. ten Hove, MD, M.Eng, FRCS(c),
Associate Professor of Ophthalmology, Queen's University
"In this comprehensive approach to eye movements, Dr. Agnes Wong
simplifies the complex systems of ocular motility into teachable
bullet points, at once both accessible to the student and practical
for the clinician, while maintaining a high standard of
intellectual rigor and scientific validity. The book is highly
illustrated with wonderful full-color schematic diagrams and
tables. It is at the same time a reference text and a practical
guide, ideal for the
teacher as well as the practitioner."--Nancy J. Newman, MD,
Professor of Ophthalmology and Neurology, Emory University School
of Medicine

"This readable and contemporary description of a difficult topic is
well organized, walking the fine line between being comprehensive
and exhaustive. The book is easy to understand and the CD-Rom has
excellent video clips."--Doody's
"This is a unique book in many ways...Neuro-ophthalmologists will
feel at home here. The author takes the outline concept and massage
it very usefully. It is not a book that needs to be read cover to
cover, although that would be edifying. It can be used as a great
reader resource/reference book to use for specific assistance. I am
confident that I will use this book...I recommend this book for its
knowledge, its usefulness, its organization. It is succinct but
accurate."--James D. Reynolds, M.D. for American Orthoptic Journal
