I used this book constantly as a reference during my optometry studies. It's an excellent resource and has quite a bit of detailed information about the conditions it describes (and it is not to blame for any shipping woes someone might have had ;) )

I purchased this book as somewhat of a comprehensive reference. I wanted something that would give useful in-depth theoretical detail about common eye conditions seen while in school; diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, common anterior segment disease processes, etc. While it does provide some of this information, it provides only cursory glances at many important topics. I found that it never reached any significant level of detail on anything and in some areas, just reads like a slightly expanded Wills without the treatment. There are quite a few photographs so it makes for a "pretty" book, but even many of the photos are not really all that impressive. If you're an OD/MD student looking for something to get a lot of detailed info in one place, I don't think this will be too much help. Vitreoretinal Disease (Carl Regillo) and/or Primary Care of the Posterior Seg (Alexander) are good sources for post seg pathology. Primary Care of the Anterior Seg (Catania) is great for anterior seg pathology. Those three together actually accomplished what I was looking for at the time. If you're looking for a nice photo book with some helpful info here and there, this might be just fine for you, though. For the price of a new copy, though, I think you could do much better with used copies of the texts I listed above.

This book is better than i thought it would be. It breaks everything down and explains it in a clear and concise manner. It has pictures for everything. It was well worth the purchase price.

A good resource for in-depth details of conditions and background information but not much in the ways of treatment. would definitely recommend

Structured and formatted very well, with some of the best and most accurate photos I've seen in a text, Kanski has delivered again. Everyone I know who owned a copy of the previous edition took one look at this one and bought it, which says a lot about how fantastic this edition is.

Buy it early in your career, read it, love it. Kanski is just the best.

This book is a wonderful reference, I use it in my office almost daily. A must have for any Optometrist or Optician.

This is an excellent textbook for students and 1st yr residents. The materials are presented in a clear and concise manner with lots of good pictures and illustrations. It is useful in clinic as well as for overviews. The binding has improved noticeably comparing to previous editions and should hold up much better). The online access makes it very convenient. It has a search function which is much beter than just an index of topics.
I highly recommend this text to students and residents in optometry and ophthalmology.

Couldn't ask for me. the perfect resource for any optometry student. Very happy with this book. Worth every penny I paid for it.

I think this book has everything about ophthalmology. Strongly recommend to residents, fellows and every ophthalmologist. If you have Clinical Ophthalmology that is OK.
