Includes updated images and resources, additional sample clinical problems, and the latest information on such areas as glaucoma care and eye-related aging changes.

Summary: Exceptional book for ophthalmology rotations
Comment: I used this book during ophthalmology rotations - it was recommended by attendings - and found it to be extremely useful and enjoyable (maybe that's why I ended up going into ophthalmology!). Contrary to a prior review, I actually think it's also a very useful book for medical students who contemplate going into ophthalmology. I actually recommend it to all my med student friends wanting to go into ophtho. A lot of the other books might be good resources as references, but for a busy med student who has to juggle clinics at the same time, this book was succinct, clear, very well diagrammed, engaging, and well-illustrated. It was manageable enough that you feel you can actually read the whole book (or close to it) and high-yield enough to come away with a good overall knowledge of ophthalmology. It emphasizes the key points at the end of each section, and I also liked the review questions given at the end of each section. You'll need other books as an ophtho resident, but this books certainly helped me on my ophtho rotations as a med student. I bought this book after I pretty much decided I wanted to go into ophtho, but if I had specialized in something else, it would have been an invaluable resource anyway.

Summary: Good resource for the purpose for which it was created
Comment: This book is good for medical students NOT interested in going into ophthalmology or for primary care residents interested in the basics of what they need to know for eye health screening. This is not a good book for the medical student who wants to go into ophthalmology.
Explains exam, common presentations and the appropriate workup and treatment. Good color pictures. Focuses heavily on what can be treated by the primary care physician versus what should be referred to an ophthalmologist.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Uselful for any non-ophthalmologist physician
Comment: This is a great text for any physician, PA or NP that works in a non-ophthalmology field. It's comprehensive and mastering the material contained within the text definitely sharpens clinical skills. Ophthalmology is a subject that doesn't receive much attention in medical school. This is a great supplement for clinicians wanting to broaden knowledge of eye disease and treatment. It clearly defines the problems that can be managed in a primary care or non-ophthalmology specialty. It also points out many common mistakes made in treating diseases of the eye, in effort to help the reader avoid such pitfalls.

It's concise, very easy to read and serves as a fantastic reference. My clinical skills were much improved after working through this text.
