Reviews:

Although I have not yet finished the book, from what I have read I feel it is the perfect beginning book in ophthalmology. At least it was exactly what I was looking for as a soon-to-be ophthalmology resident. I also initially came across it as a medical student and feel it is a great book for medical students considering the field for their career.

A comprehensive book in ophthalmology, It deals with a wide variaty of topics and have the classic Appleton and Lange format. although it contains too much information to learn in a rotation but it serves excellent as a reference.
