Book excerpt: Lying in a hospital bed, José P. Ramirez, Jr. (b. 1948) almost lost everything because of a misunderstood disease. When the health department doctor gave him the Handbook for Persons with Leprosy, Ramirez learned his fate. Such a diagnosis in 1968 meant exile and hospitalization in the only leprosarium in the continental United States—Carville, Louisiana, 750 miles from his home in Laredo, Texas. In Squint: My Journey with Leprosy, Ramirez recalls being taken from his family in a hearse and thrown into a world filled with fear. He and his loved ones struggled against the stigma associated with the term “leper” and against beliefs that the disease was a punishment from God, that his illness was highly communicable, and that persons with Hansen's disease had to be banished from their communities. His disease not only meant separation from the girlfriend who would later become his wife, but also a derailment of all life's goals. In his struggle Ramirez overcame barriers both real and imagined and eventually became an international advocate on behalf of persons with disabilities. In Squint, titled for the sliver of a window through which persons with leprosy in medieval times were allowed to view Mass but not participate, Ramirez tells a story of love and perseverance over incredible odds.

Book excerpt: A quick and practical reference book with step-by-step explanation of various techniques of squint surgery represents an invaluable resource to the busy general ophthalmologists as well as postgraduate students. There are very few quality books which teach us practically how to do the basic steps in strabismus surgery. The purpose of this book is to present basic principles and technique of squint surgery in a step-by-step and easy-to-understand manner. The squint surgery is a combination of dexterity, knowledge, judgment and experience which is gleaned over many years of practice. In this book, the stalwarts in strabismology have privileged us with their experience, which is definitely carried over in the contents of this excellent guide. Theoretical learning of squint surgery must always be supported by a positive practical training and this book aims to help in giving that guidance. This book is written in a clear, logical and structured format with many illustrations, diagrams, photographs and is also coupled with high quality surgical video footage. This book is divided into four sections, viz. preoperative considerations, preferred surgical techniques, postoperative considerations and recent advances; in which highly regarded and expert strabismologists have presented their strategic thinking in this field and described the nuances of squint surgery in a simple yet very effective, step-by-step and lucid approach. The opportunity of first- hand studying all the thoughtful chapters from distinguished faculties in strabismology. This book useful for strabismus surgeons, ophthalmologists and residents.
