⭐This book is amazing for the fourth year medical student trying to prepare for away rotations. As for use in residency, I would suspect it will make a nice quick reference guide for exam techniques that first couple of months.-MS4

⭐This is a pretty decent book to start off your ophthalmology career. I found it useful as my first ophtho book to build a foundation. Would recommend reading this during intern year or at very beginning of residency. Doesn’t really have a role after that and could use more pictures.

⭐Quick, expected quality,The book was recommended at a hospitalIt would be nice to find in every book the date of issue, it is not possible now.

⭐As an incoming ophthalmology resident, this has provided a great introduction to the field and I would recommend it to others.

⭐The book was sealed well!

⭐This book was recommended by some current ophthalmology residents.It covers many of the exam techniques and commonly used equipment and tests.I doubt I will use it that much moving forward through residency as it covers the basics, but it provided a decent foundation prior to starting residency.

⭐very good, but it does not have a whole lot of detail so you will find yourself needing more info during your 4th year electives
