Customer Reviews

Perhaps the best ophthalmology book ever
Kudos to the authors!

This well-organized, concise and practical book begins where the Wills Manual left off. Drawing from a vast library of clinical photographs, the book serves both as a clinical resource and an atlas. The reader is expertly guided through both diagnosis and management.

I was very impressed and would recommend this book to any ophthalmologist or health care professional interested in eye care.

Lacking in some places
As far as content goes this manual is lacking in up to date therapies, and has a limited view on differential diagosis.Pictures are great, though, and in one small handy book. But, if you don't know what you're looking for it is very hard to find

This book and the Wills Manual are a must have for you on-call bag
An excellent handbook for clinical diagnosis and treatment, especially when alone in the ER in the middle of the night doing Ophtho consults. Probably not really for anyone but Ophthalmologists unless you are a primary care physician with no ophtho consultation avalable to you. Lots of full color pictures and bullet style diagnosis and treatment algorithms organized by system. It is the best $60 you'll spend as a general Ophthalmologist. Not really for test review or studying, just a quick primer on diagnosis and treatment of most eye problems. Should be standard issue on the first day of Ophthalmology residency.
