Ophthalmology Made Ridiculously Simple (Medmaster Ridiculously Simple)

I am an retired ophthalmologist who spends part of the year supervising medical students in Australia. I deliver a number of lectures under the title of Undergraduate Ophthalmology. Drs Goldberg and Trattler's little book is an admirable resource for both me and the students I teach. For undergraduates, eye diseases are regarded as tiger country and this little book most certainly provides a splendid guide through the ocular jungle.
Highly recommended.

This review is from: Ophthalmology Made Ridiculously Simple (Paperback)

As it states on the cover of the book, "All the ophthalmology necessary for the non-ophthalmologists." Great introductory book for those without any exposure to ophthalmology. It is not enough practical information for medical students to impress anybody on an ophthalmology rotation beyond the first couple of days and certainly not enough to confidently work up all but the most obvious findings on your own.

In conclusion, great book for brief and succinct introduction to ophthalmology. Disagree with a prior review, poor book for ophthalmology rotation.

I bought this book and had it sent to my daughter. She had been studying for her COA and has now passed that test and is working on her COT - An excellent adjunctive study guide.
