Customer Reviews

incredible book
This is a well-organized, practical and concise book. The illustrations are very good in quality and well chosen. It's not a book to learn for the first time if you are a resident, but it's a must have when you already have a little more time in the ophthalmology field, let's say from a third year resident to all ages. Very useful for ABO recertification

Good Resource
I used this book for my ABO recertification test. It is well laid out with all the bullet phrases included in the sections to help find info quickly. No major flaws noted. A very good desk reference for the minutiae we all forget over time.

Fantastic review book for the ABO board exam and OKAPs
This is a great review of all of the BCSC series, just without the all the fluff. The only downside is relatively few pictures. Has good questions at the end of each section. Very good if you've seen the material before and need to be refreshed before an exam.
