Reviews

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

⭐I wanted to compare this book with the Wills Eye Manual. I think that this book is better than Wills in a few way, the first way being that it is more comprehensive and discusses topics that are not in Wills such as fistulas and many other eye disease that are missed by Wills. I still think Wills is more concise and an easier review however. Wills also has more current treatment options so I think owning them both is a good idea.

⭐Excellent book for a 2nd and 3rd year and beginning of externships when you want a very condensed but good overview of facts. Also, the pictures are great in this book. I preferrred to wills eye for my earlier days.

⭐I purchased this book for Optometry school and overall it has been a great resource with good details and pictures. Between this book and the Wills Eye Manual, you can’t go wrong.

⭐Excelent ophthalmology book for a quick everyday look at the office specially for beginners. Updated information, good pictures make the price really worh it!

⭐I had the first edition when I was in school and got this newer edition for up to date info. It’s just as good and organized in much the same way.

⭐excellence condition. new good packing good resource as a reference book. like illustrations i will recomend book for other proffesions

⭐At this price range, the Mass Eye and Ear Manual of Ophthalmology is an adequate pocket reference for eye care practitioners. The 3rd edition has been expanded and is now better illustrated than its direct rival, the Manhattan Eye and Ear Color Atlas of Ophthalmology (the latter is noticeably less expensive, however).Strengths:1. Covers essentially the entire field of non-surgical ophthalmology in a compact and easy to read format.2. Consistent layout and excellent illustrations. Great neuro-ophthalmic diagrams.3. Outstanding reference for quick review.Weaknesses:1. Falls short of Wills Manual in terms of providing up to date therapy and diagnosis. The retinopathy of prematurity chapter still utilizes the old terminology of “rush” disease, although the newer term of Agressive Posterior ROP (AP-ROP) supplanted “rush disease” years ago.2. Cannot be relied upon for treatment guidelines. Example: the authors list oral prednisone in the management of progressive outer retinal necrosis — something that borders on malpractice in severely immunocompromized patients. I am not aware of any experts in the field of retina/uveitis who would endorse oral steroids in the treatment of progressive outer retinal necrosis. Furthermore, the initial regimen of antiviral agents described in the book is inadequate and will fail to control the spread of necrotizing retinitis in most of the cases.Verdict:Recommended with reservations.

⭐Great reference for an optometric practice

⭐You can carry it everywhere and have all the ophthalmology practice tips in an instant view! Cost effective book for residents and not only!

⭐Thorough, great pictures, but not used as much as I would have liked. The descriptions under each picture are very short, and it’s tough to find exactly what you’re looking for.Kanski is a better purchase overall.Wouldn’t recommend purchasing.
