Customer Rating: 
Summary: Good OKAP Review
Comment: This book does a great job of extracting much of the commonly tested minute details from the BCSC books. It is by no means comprehensive, but if used with the Mass Eye and Ear Question Book and the BCSC books it is extremely helpful, especially if you are a PGY 3 or 4 and already have a decent understanding of the material on the test.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Fantastic review book for the ABO board exam and OKAPs
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: A good book, but not a super easy read
Comment: I thought this book was colorful with great tables and pictures, i.e. for the white dot syndromes. It is not always organized in the most easy to read or reference way. I think the optics and neuro op sections for example are organized in a difficult to follow way. I have not tried the Chern book but heard it is a little bit easier to memorize. You definitely need to supplement this book with the BCSC series, it is not a good primary tool for learning ophtho. I did really like how colorful the book is and there is space in the margins to make your own notes.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Decent Book
Comment: This book is best for reviewing for OKAPS. It is not a great book as far as learning ophthalmology goes, however. The Kanksi text is probably a better fit for those looking for a thorough read and reference. I have never taken an OKAPS exam, but all my friends how are residents swear by this book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: There are far better sources
Comment: I had high hopes for this books since the Mass Eye and Ear atlas is so well done. This book, however, is not an easy read and I feel that the topics are not really consistent with board-type material. Also, the pictures are largely useless, with a ton of pathology pictures without clinical photos. I think Chern is far better organized and easier to follow.
