Reviews

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

⭐Well written, easy reading. Covers the essentials of a base exam. Written by an Ophthalmic Technician as opposed to a Doctor. Great book but a little pricey.

⭐Easy to follow and helps u learn terminology

⭐Very basic, easy to read

⭐I’m impressed with this book! I had ordered an expensive book through Amazon, this exceeds my expectations. Simplified for the amateur.

⭐I work as a tech in a comprehensive ophthalmology clinic and this book has become popular and handy love the pictures easy to understand and read

⭐Bought this book as a required read for school and it’s quickly become a priceless tool for writing reports and quickly looking up easy, accurate descriptions of eye conditions. I only wish it was longer… Hopefully there will be a sequel!

⭐Very Helpful!

⭐Easy to read, but minimal information. Very little about posterior vitreous detachment and nothing about Weiss ring. This was a waste of money.

⭐I do not know how good this book is because I have ordered it twice through different sellers and received a defective book. The cover is The Little Eye Book, but the contents is LINQ programming.I hope that the defective issues can be identified and removed from sale.
