This review is from: Clinical Pearls in Refractive Care (Hardcover)

I've recently received this product from amazon.com and am really pleased with the quality in which it arrived! It was brand new, wrapped in plastic. The book itself, as a perscribed text for my course, is very helpful as it provides not only clinical pearls but also case studies. Very helpful!
The only downside that i was slightly disappointed with was when the book arrived, I found it on the floor next to the mailbox. I was pretty sure I signed up for registered post. Whether this is a problem with amazon.com or the australian post services i'm not sure, but it happened with my previous order as well. Hopefully this can be fixed...
