This review is from: Ophthalmology Review Manual (Paperback)

Overall good book. Neuro is surprisingly very poorly written. Lacks a section on optics. Images could've been better. Pediatrics and strabismus section is great.

Very high yield review book with logical organization and systematic approach to reviewing clinical ophthalmology. There is no section on optics or pathology, but despite this shotcoming I can give no less than 5 stars. Dr Chern has done more for resident education with his books than almost any other single person in the field of Ophthalmolgy. When coupled with the Chern question book you should do well on the OKAPs and boards.

This review is from: Ophthalmology Review Manual (Paperback)

This book is truly a wonderful review book. It is well organized, has excellent pictures and tables, and focuses very well on high yield information. There are few things not covered such as optics. Some of the newer treatments in retina such as PDT, IVK, macugen, avastin are obviously not included. But a few other things that could be improved are discussion of visual field interpretation, corneal topography interpretation, a little more on surgical techniques, particularly cataract, and coverage of refractive surgery as this is now included on the OKAPS and boards.

What I have done is written notes in the margins of additional facts and info from other texts such as kanski or the basic science series to make one source I can use for review.

Highly recommended. The Chern question book is excellent too.
