Editorial Reviews
Review
Students are commenting that they like the fact that it has color photos and ICD-9 codes. it's easy to use and organized intuitively. It's main competitors would be Wills Eye Manual and Mass. Eye and Ear. I think it is superior to Mass. Eye and Ear bevause that book goes over things that are rarely seen in clinic in too much detail and seems to skip over common entitities too much. Students still seem to prefer Wills, but that could be simply beause they are used to using it. One comment a student gave me was that is is helpful to students to have things organized by category rather than alphabetically. for example, if they have a patient who they think has a c ertain corneal condition, it would be helpful it all corneal conditions were grouped together so they could quickly skim and see what they might be missing.

5.0 out of 5 stars
diagnostic review,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ophthalmic Diagnosis & Treatment (Paperback)
Excellent source for diagnosis and management. Includes signs, symptoms and specific diagnostic tests for all the common, and some less common, eye diseases. Interesting "holistic" approach for treatment and management options including pharmacologic, nonpharmacologic, and dietarty/lifestyle prescriptions. It should replace Wills' as a first reference for primary care providers.

Disappointed,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ophthalmic Clinical Advisor: Diagnosis and Treatment, 2e (Paperback)
As an eye care practitioner I was greatly disappointed with this book. Many topics are left out including common ones like hordeola and chalazia for example. Information is not always current or accurate for example corneal abrasions are not pressure patched most of the time but bandaged with contact lenses. This book needs broader scope of coverage and more accurate information. Shame on the editors. This does not always represent 2008 standard of care. I would return this book in a heartbeat if I didn't already take the shrink wrap off.
I disagree with the previous reviewer for Primary Care Docs. Wills and Mass. Eye and Ear Infirmary still blow this book away with accuracy and completeness. Do NOT replace them with this book. You'll be sorry.
