5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional book for ophthalmology rotations, July 5, 2008
This review is from: Basic Ophthalmology (Paperback)
I used this book during ophthalmology rotations - it was recommended by attendings - and found it to be extremely useful and enjoyable (maybe that's why I ended up going into ophthalmology!). Contrary to a prior review, I actually think it's also a very useful book for medical students who contemplate going into ophthalmology. I actually recommend it to all my med student friends wanting to go into ophtho. A lot of the other books might be good resources as references, but for a busy med student who has to juggle clinics at the same time, this book was succinct, clear, very well diagrammed, engaging, and well-illustrated. It was manageable enough that you feel you can actually read the whole book (or close to it) and high-yield enough to come away with a good overall knowledge of ophthalmology. It emphasizes the key points at the end of each section, and I also liked the review questions given at the end of each section. You'll need other books as an ophtho resident, but this books certainly helped me on my ophtho rotations as a med student. I bought this book after I pretty much decided I wanted to go into ophtho, but if I had specialized in something else, it would have been an invaluable resource anyway.

Awesome ophthalmology book for those in the health profession who are not Ophthalmologist. Covers what you need to look for, and what needs to be immediately referred.
