⭐Got my order on time and as described
⭐This book was very lightly used. In excellent condition. I need it because I’m studying to be an Ophthalmologists technician assistant.
⭐This is one of the best textbooks I’ve ever used!!What I like:-Absolutely no errors/typos found anywhere.-Plenty of self-assessment questions at the end of each chapter, AND answers included in the back.-Glossary and index in the back.-The material is sometimes repeated in subsequent chapters, which means it reinforces what you’re learning, as you go. Make sure to start at chapter 1.-Explanations are clear and very easy to follow with a basic high school education. It isn’t overly technical, although some chapters give a lot of information, so it feels more like a reference book for certain chapters (such as medications, and medical coding).-There are videos to watch, which you can do instantly on your phone with the QR codes. They’re good little videos.I am using this book to prepare to take the COA exam (entry level). To do that, I had to take the self-study course, which includes this book, plus the online exam for it. I purchased both of these from the JCAHPO online store. Here is what you need to know about the online exam for this textbook, which they don’t necessarily tell you:-It is un-timed and open-book. You can pause the exam and come back to it anytime. There are 240 questions, and you have to get 80% of them correct. You also get one free second attempt to pass. Results are immediate, and you get an instant certificate of completion emailed to you.-This textbook includes core material for ALL levels of certification, even the highest Medical Technician. Therefore, the exam for this textbook will include questions from the ENTIRE book. It is likely MORE difficult than the entry level COA exam for this reason. So if you can pass this exam easily (closed-book) then I assume you’ll have a fantastic chance of passing the COA exam on your first try.The test is very long and tedious, but because it’s open-book, there really is no excuse not to get all of the questions correct. I spent 3 weeks reading the entire book and taking careful notes, and I got a 98% on the exam, but many of the questions I definitely had to look up. But if it were closed-book and timed, there’s no way I would have passed with only 3 weeks of study. There’s a LOT of information in the book.I still have to sit for the actual COA exam once I’ve accumulated 1,000 hours of experience, so I will need to do some serious memorization and continue studying this book inside and out before I even considering taking it. I’ve purchased COA practice tests from the site ExamEdge and those are really helping, so I recommend that.Good luck in becoming certified!
⭐Book is ok. A lot of spelling errors but this is not the sellers fault. However it did not come with the code to take the jcahpo pretest. Sadly it took me 8 months to realize this. If the seller has any suggestions on how to get the code to me I’d appreciate it. Otherwise book is in brand new condition and I use it as a reference all the time at work.
Excellent microsurgery derives not from natural dexterity alone or from pure book knowledge, but from these features combined with an appreciation of the instrumentation, physical forces, and tissue reactions that create the environment of microsurgery. Ophthalmic Microsurgery: Principles, Techniques, and Applications conveys both the art and science of microsurgery from an ophthalmic perspective.This unique resource begins with the principles and techniques of microsurgery, which can be applied to all types of surgeries and includes detailed laboratory exercises to teach the key concepts. The second section of Ophthalmic Microsurgery addresses the specific applications. While not an encyclopedia of all surgical interventions, Drs. Sumit “Sam” Garg and Roger Steinert, along with their contributors, provide an overview of key surgical competencies that are relevant to the various ophthalmic subspecialties.Ophthalmic Microsurgery is set apart from other similar resources by having a comprehensive and concise focus on translating surgical principles into reality through simple and inexpensive exercises.Grounded in practicality and requiring only basic materials, Ophthalmic Microsurgery: Principles, Techniques, and Applications covers the theory and basics of microsurgery needed during the ophthalmic surgical training of residents and fellows and serves as an excellent manual for the more experienced ophthalmologists looking to refine their technique in microsurgery.

This book contains all inclusive formulary for ocular prescription medications and includes new agents in retinal disease. Ophthalmology has long been considered a surgical area because so many disorders/diseases are treated surgically rather than medically. In the past ten years, however, there have been considerable therapeutic breakthroughs in non-surgical treatments. For instance, anti-glaucoma agents have become increasingly effective. This edition includes a new chapter for retinal disease. There are now several pharmaceutical agents being used to treat these diseases. Specifically, age-related macular degeneration has many new products.

Drug therapy as an alternative to surgical intervention is becoming increasingly common. In the past five years, new anti-glaucoma agents have becoming increasingly effective. This edition will include new information on off-label prescribing and cap colors where they are mandated by the FDA (pink/white for steroid drops, grey for topical NSAIDS, etc.);There are now several new pharmaceutical agents being used to treat retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (Macugen, Lucentis, Visudyne), while other drugs formerly prescribed have now been shown to be less effective. Intraocular infections are primarily treated with intravitreal medications. Additionally, the anti-allergy and dry eye markets continue to grow, with a new formulation of Allergan’s Acular 0.5% (ketorolac tromethamine) and Elestat ophthalmic solution, its new antihistamine-mast cell stabilizer.

The authors’ constant interactions with medical students in the classroom, on the hospital ward, and in oral examinations ever since this pocket atlas first appeared in English 2001 have enabled them to update both the text and the illustrations for this new English edition. Like its predecessor, the 2nd edition provides a concise, thorough and up-to-date introduction to the field of ophthalmology. Medical students on ophthalmology rotations, as well as beginning residents, will find it an invaluable companion on the ward and a useful aid for test preparation. Fully trained physicians and other health professionals, too, will be able to use it for a self-taught refresher course in ophthalmology.The special features of this book include:More than 500 clear, well-drawn illustrations and color photographs illustrating clinical findings, disease pathophysiology, and moreMany new illustrations since the previous edition reflecting the latest developments in the field, particularly in the chapters on the retina and the corneaA new appendix containing correlations between clinical findings and the latest examining techniques, as well as a guide to visual field defectsComprehensive presentation of examining techniques An expanded glossary and a copiously illustrated table of important anatomical structuresA convenient and comprehensive table of cardinal manifestations of disease with associated findings, probable diagnoses, and suggestions for diagnostic work-upClearly and consistently organized chapters on all major diseasesJust as in the 1st edition, the individual chapters are organized to maximize their usefulness as a teaching tool:Each chapter begins with the relevant basic concepts in anatomy and physiologyAll diseases are consistently presented in accordance with clinical logic: first the symptoms, then the examination findings, then the diagnosisThe diseases are both described in words and shown in didactically useful illustrationsUnderstand the entire field of ophthalmology with this compact, beautifully illustrated text!

⭐i used this book on my ophthalmology home and away rotations. it served as my bible. it covers the breadth of all sub specialties in ophthalmology in sufficient detail so that you’ll have a general idea about what the residents and faculty are talking to you about in clinic. it focuses on pathophysiology and diagnosis, less on treatment. lots of colorful images to hit those points home. best part is it fits in your white coat pocket. highly recommend for medical students + starting residents.
⭐I used this book for my 4th-year ophthalmology rotation. The book is well-written and covers anatomy, clinical techniques, and all of the basic diseases. The chapters are organized anatomically, which makes it easy to locate sections of interest. The text also provides a nice summary of common surgical procedures.
⭐A great go-to book. Helpful photographs. Well explained. Length just right for an interested GP.
⭐You learn nothing about ophthalmology in medical school. If you are planning to do an ophthalmology elective, this book is quite helpful. It fits in your white coat, lots of pictures, easy to read, and gets to the point. Great buy
⭐The book was in a very good condition. I’m impressed.
⭐No algorithms or differentials for the clinician using this as a practicing reference. This is more of a school text book.
⭐FGEREAT REFERENCE
⭐OK.
⭐Brief overview of many topics. The main bulk of the book is about ocular diseases which are broken down by anatomy. Each disease has a definition, description, symptoms, differential diagnosis and treatment. Although sometimes a section, such as differential diagnosis, maybe missing but mostly they all present. The book has good pictures but the kindle version will not be in colour. Overall the book is quite basic but is a useful quick reference for optometry students.
⭐Das Buch is praktisch für jungen medizin studenten während des Praktikums. die Bilder in das Buch sind sehr typisch und einfach zu verstehen.
The didactic concept of this book, grounded on years of teaching experience, considers all aspects of training: – it allows easy studying through clear yet comprehensive coverage, – easy memorizing by a well-structured presentation, and – easy application through a clear distinction between symptoms and diagnosis, tabular presentation of major symptoms, and extensive indexing. A role model for a pocket textbook designed for the study of the field of ophthalmology, extensively illustrated with high-quality color photographs and clear explanatory drawings.

The ageing of the world’s population is one of the major achievements of modern society. By 2050, an estimated 2 billion people will be aged 60 years or over. However, ageing poses major challenges and this is especially true for the field of ophthalmology, given that the major eye diseases – age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and cataract – predominantly affect the elderly. The challenges facing ophthalmology in an ageing society have not previously been addressed in a comprehensive way, although there are common denominators of the various eye diseases that affect the elderly. This book provides such a comprehensive overview encompassing epidemiology, risk factors, current treatment and prophylaxis, disability, co-morbidity, and the impact on quality of life. World leaders in their respective fields provide state-of-the-art knowledge on the geriatric aspects of ophthalmology that will help to improve the management of this growing patient population.
