⭐Very rare and interesting edition of ethical principles for ophthalmologists. Ethical issues thoroughly described using “like in real life” examples, for example dealing with complications in glaucoma patients, dealing with impaired colleague, dealing with assistants in eye clinics, dealing with improper advirtisments etc. All this is closely related to the field of ophthalmology. The book is very handy for those who is going to sit his fellowship ophthalmology examinations. Highly recommended, and just interesting to read.

⭐In depth information and easy to understand

⭐Excellent basic for all oophrhalmologidts

⭐Excellent review on basics sciences in relation to ophthalmology. One of my preferred references.

⭐Very good text for basic eye sciences

⭐Very thorough. Definite must have.

⭐as described

⭐Currently studying from it, I love it.

⭐Wer sich dem ICO-Examen im Bereich der “Basic Sciences” stellen mĂśchte, muss sich zu Beginn der Lernperiode Ăźberlegen, welches dieser umfangreichen LehrbĂźcher er oder sie sich zulegen mĂśchte und leider ist die Auswahl nicht sehr groß.”The Eye” beginnt mit einem zunächst recht verständlich formuliertem Kapitel zur Anatomie des Auges (+ Orbita, etc.), welches sich aufgrund der noch vorhandenen Anatomiekenntnisse aus dem Studium recht gut lesen lässt. Auch das Kapitel Ăźber Embryologie und Genetik des Auges sind gut geschrieben. Leider sinkt die Qualität des Buches im weiteren Verlauf sehr stark, was sehr enttäuschend ist. Im Folgenden die Details:FĂźr mich ist das zentrale Problem an diesem Buch, das es dort, wo es darauf ankommt, nicht den didaktischen Anforderungen eines Lehrbuchs entspricht. Soll heißen: Es ist durchgehend auf eine Weise geschrieben, die ein extensives Grundwissen voraussetzt, welches Assistenzärzte der Augenheilkunde ganz einfach nicht haben kĂśnnen, dabei sollen diese Grundkenntnisse doch vermittelt werden, wie es scheint. Meines Erachtens liegt dies auch daran, dass die Autoren sich ständig in Details verzetteln und die Selektion der wirklich wichtigen Informationen auf der Strecke bleibt. Nach den meisten Absätzen bleibt die Frage offen, was denn nun wirklich relevant war von dem, was man da gerade gelesen hat. Hinzu kommt, dass viele Kapitel sehr sprunghaft geschrieben sind und der rote Faden fehlt. Fakten werden aneinander gereiht, deren innerer Zusammenhang oftmals nicht ersichtlich ist.Weitere Probleme, kurz gefasst:1. In zentralen Punkten werden inhaltliche Fehler gemacht bzw. treten WidersprĂźche zwischen den von unterschiedlichen Autoren geschrieben Kapiteln auf. Wikipedia musste mehrfach fĂźr Klarheit sorgen.2. Man merkt deutlich, wenn unterschiedliche Autoren am Werk waren, weil sich manche Inhalte sehr häufig wiederholen. Der Eindruck wird erweckt, dass schlampig korrekturgelesen wurde.3. Viele Grafiken, insbesondere in den Kapiteln Biochemie und Physiologie, sind entweder vĂśllig irrelevant (z.B. seitenweise unkommentierter Abbildung der Tertiärstruktur von retinalen Proteinen) oder, und das ist noch viel ärgerlicher, werden nicht ausreichend durch eine Legende beschrieben. An vielen Stellen tauchen AbkĂźrzungen in Abbildungen auf, die in der Legende nicht definiert werden. So werden ganze Abbildungen unbrauchbar.Fazit:Zwar sind die ersten drei Kapitel in Ordnung, insgesamt muss von diesem unselektiv und teils schlampig geschriebenen Buch aber unbedingt abgeraten werden.

⭐Good book

⭐Great book

⭐Its a good book. Easy to go through it.

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

⭐I’m a layperson who knew very little about the eye, how it works, and how eye problems are address. I found The Eye Book to be a fabulous introductory overview. It’s well-written, and the illustrations are excellent.I learned a lot, and I plan to ask my optometrist a few reasonably intelligent questions during my next exam.

⭐I actually cannot speak to the merits of the book as a whole. It may be spot on, but I have some doubts. Specifically, on page 459 in discussing Blood Pressure Medications, the author says, “Imagine a hose with water running through it so fast that it’s about to burst”. Now, I get that the author is not likely an engineer or physicist, but perhaps he should consult with one. Last time I checked PRESSURE, not VELOCITY will burst a hose. He goes on to discuss “volume” and “rate” as if they were separate entities. In a static situation the might be (except that rate cannot be static), but volume flow rate is the only relevant issue in his analogy. That whole paragraph is lame. Hopefully it is not representative of the book as a whole.

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

⭐Book provided answers to my questions to a point. Then too Doctor advanced to other possibilities for treatment. Good book to identify and explain your eye problems.

⭐This is a book highly relevant to all people having a problem with their vision, even if it’s just nearsightedness, and also for all others caring about their eyes and their vision too. The book is excellent in many ways, but what makes it unique, is that the advice comes from a doctor who is an authority in both ophthalmology and nutrition. The nutritional information will be especially helpful to my mother, who is a diabetic. For example, I learned how diabetics can often clear up leakages in their retinas and avoid laser surgery — something I had not read anywhere else. Learning how to prevent macular degeneration and cataracts will also be very helpful to her. And as for myself, I was thinking about having LASIK done to correct my nearsightedness, but I will not now that I know what problems might result in the future. And since the book is dealing with almost all topics concerning the eye, most people will get an accurate answer to what they are are concerned about. The book is also easy and entertaining to read, and this combined with knowing that Dr. Lavine has your best interests at heart makes this book very special and absolutely worthwhile reading and getting back to over and over again. I just wish we had Dr. Lavine here in Sweden, but having his book is the next best thing!!
