⭐Retina is the very well-known comprehensive review of the most updated knowledge of this field, written by the expert authors than are the most trusted. Not only in the first time retina education, but through the practice of this speciality, it is the most reliable companion of a practitioner.

⭐Updated edition of the best book of the chorioretinal diseases ever wrote !!! I like the structure and style of writing of this book.

⭐The content is excellent but getting to it is very difficult. Unbeknownst to me at the time of purchase and despite what it says in the description, the website is not available to the Kindle edition owners. The Kindle version ebook index is very poor and to make it even worse, it takes minutes for the search to finish. Maneuvering to a specific chapter is very difficult too. You can only put the book on 2 devices and when I upgraded my iPad, I have yet to find how to deauthorize my old one so that i can move it to the new one.I have owned every previous edition of Retina and find it a phenomenal resource. I complained to the publisher about the Kindle edition and they did not care. Complaining to Amazon got me $10 credit but didn’t make the book more usable; they said that it was up to the publisher. The book description has not changed on the Amazon website, still saying that you have instant access to your ebook.Probably best to buy the print edition and hopefully you will get the web access as I did in the past.

⭐At first evening glance, this was a big disappointment, at least the medical part. Important topics were superficially covered and certain well known diagnoses not covered at all (e.g. SUSAC syndrome) It seems to me priority was given lots of images without neccessarily quality relevance.to the topic.

⭐EXCELENT paper quality, content and pictures. Very complete and updated. The on-line version is allways available and complete also. I strongly recommend it

⭐Excelent

⭐great comprehensive book.

⭐I got it in 4 days. No cimplains. That’s the way to do busyness.
