Abstract

Occasionally, strabismus not fully conforming to the earlier discussed principles is encountered and requires additional understanding to explain its mechanisms. This chapter will describe several other variants of strabismus which would interest the inquisitive mind of a postgraduate student. A general ophthalmologist should also have their basic knowledge, to identify them and suggest appropriate management.
