The Strabismus Minute first appeared in Feb. 1999. There are now 48 lectures in two volumes. The aim of this series is to provide the ophthalmologist and allied eye health care provider a simple, straightforward means of obtaining useful and up-to-date information.  They are presented in no particular order, instead, they are intended to be topical.  When compared to a textbook, these minutes though simpler and less authoritative, are more likely to be current.  When compared to a journal article, these minutes are intended to be more practical and focused.  They could be compared to the message of a visiting lecturer in that they deal with a current topic, are the product of a single source, and are subject to local editorial responsibility. New lectures will be added in response to the requests of readers and as events lead. Your comments and suggestions are invited.
