Book Description

ISBN-10: 1560534982 | ISBN-13: 978-1560534983 | Publication Date: November 2, 2002 | Edition: 1

In this vignette-based companion to the highly popular Ophthalmology Secrets, the authors, largely from Wills Eye Hospital, present a wealth of real-patient cases with which to challenge the reader. For each case, a patient case scenario is presented, accompanied by physical findings, pertinent lab data and an illustration, and the reader is asked to make a diagnosis and formulate a management plan. The authors answer the questions they have proposed, provide a focused discussion, and conclude with three or four key "Secrets" distilled from the case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have for Orals, June 20, 2008

This review is from: Ophthalmology Pearls, 1e (Paperback)

I think this book really helped tie things together for me for my Oral Board exam. I read the book cover to cover (it contains easy to get through case studies) the weekend before the test. Many of the same scenarios were on my orals. I even got an "excellent job" from one of my examiners on my most dreaded subject: Pediatric ophthalmology!! It's well worth the investment, an easy read, and gets you thinking in the systematic way needed to succeed on the orals. Go ahead, indulge.
