Editorial Reviews

Review

"The major strength of this review manual is its excellent use of illustrations, anatomy diagrams and tables. Its point format makes it easy to read in a short period of time. Overall, this is a very good introductory textbook for residents in ophthalmology and neurology and can be used as a quick reference book by practitioners in either discipline…it is still the best-sized review book available on the topic for residents preparing for their in-training exams and will continue to be a popular choice for this purpose."

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic book, April 27, 2006

This review is from: Neuro-Ophthalmology Review Manual, Revised Edition (Paperback)

Excellent review source for neuro-ophthalmology. Hits highlights of important topics, much more concise than the ophthalmology basic science series neuro-ophthalmology book or other texts such as Glaser, walsh & hoyt etc. A must to use for studying for the ophthalmology boards. There are even some surgical diagrams such as the basic steps in performing optic nerve sheath decompression.

And in response to the previous review, Dr. Kline is an ophthalmologist, and the book is geared more toward ophthalmologists than neurologists, although it is certainly beneficial for both.

By A Customer

This review is from: Neuro Ophthalmology Review Manual (5th ed) (Paperback)

Fantastic, skinny little neuro-ophtho review book. Good for neurology residents and the eye guys seem to like it, too. Great chapters on visual fields, and also on ocular motility.
