Strabismus Tutorials

A curated set of strabismus and ocular motility lectures for residents building a structured understanding of the subspecialty, from basic anatomy through surgical management.

From Dr GAMAL SOBHY: The Egyptian Site of Strabismus & Oculomotor Disorders

Strabismus Lectures and Course

Dr. Gamal Sobhy's site has reorganised its teaching material. The old chapter-by-chapter course pages no longer exist; the material is now available in these sections:

• Cybersight: Animated Book of Binocular Vision and Ocular Motility — free animated chapters from Orbis, from motility examination to strabismus surgery principles
• The Strabismus Lectures, Course and Videos previously hosted at hawal-eg.com could no longer be found online when the links were checked in October 2026, so they have been removed.

For a resident-level overview of surgical principles, see our Strabismus Surgery Basics.
