Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐If you study the Ophthalmology Review Manual and work the questions in this book, you will do well on OKAPS. The questions in this book are superb. They really hit the highlights on very important topics. I would supplement the optics, and would supplement the pathology sections (as would be expected).I recently bough the Mass Eye and Ear Review Manual and it is good too. It has more questions, but the questions are not as good overall. There is a lot more minutia in the Mass Eye and Ear question book. The Chern book you will get the most bang for your buck, hands down.

⭐great book but the new edition is much much better!

⭐Of all the question books out there, these are the most similar to OKAPS and the most high yield. I find the Mass eye and ear questions too detailed and other such books don’t even come close to this classic. Use it for boards and okaps. Pictures and explanations are second to none. As an aside, I hear there may be a new edition in the works. May want to wait for that but I’m not certain.

⭐Really helps define the most important information to study for OKAPs and came highly recommended by those who have taken the test previously

⭐Sooo useful, i really nedded it, although it was a used one but in an axcellent codition.Recommended fro all ophthalmologist

⭐Good book, but needs an updated version.

⭐I used this book and Mass Eye and Ear for OKAPs and found them very useful. Particularly the new edition has more pictures including colorful images and the content is more updated to reflect changes in knowledge.The plastics section is nice as there are several CT scan. The cornea section has several color slides that are useful for oral board review too.The questions in this book are not as difficult as Mass Eye + Ear but the explanations are better and the book is designed to enhance the learning experience.Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone studying for OKAPs or boards. A must have!

⭐This question book used to be the standard one that every Ophthalmology resident and/or fellow bought to prepare for his or her OKAPs and Written Board examinations. Though not bad, the questions are somewhat outdated and there are many typos littered throughout the book. I prefer to use online questions “books” such as ophthoquestions.com and occasionally even the AAO’s ProVision service. I just don’t think this book is worth $100 anymore.

⭐Pretty good. Could be more concise.
