Reviews

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

⭐I am a graduating medical student interested in ophthalmology. I think this book is excellent and very useful. It is well-organized and amply illustrated with diagrams and photographs. It contains practical knowledge on the steps of common surgeries and procedures, which makes them easier to follow when observing in the OR. It gives practical exam techniques (I learned the basics of gonioscopy from this book). Nearly every ocular disease that I encountered and had a question about on my rotations has had some coverage in this book. It references major studies for further reading. It is elegantly written, very digestible and memorable, and written in a clinically useful way.The only cons are that it is not cheap, and it is too large and heavy to fit into a white coat pocket, where it would be a really useful reference in clinic. And, it is British so all the visual acuities are in meters (a little annoying for the American reader).Overall, I highly, highly recommend.

⭐Excellent overview of ophthalmology. I found this book very helpful for the MRCOphth part two as an overview text. You can supplement the knowledge with Kanski and use this to revise.
