Gass provides the "gold standard" for textbooks regarding macular maladies. I have read many other texts purporting to review macular disease but none do so to the extent Gass does. Each sentence is jam-packed with information and the references are extensive and complete. The text is a must for any serious student of macular disease. One drawbrack is the black & white photos but I recognize the prohibitive costs of printing the text with color prints. I recall reading the beginning part of the chapter on choroidal neovascularization as a resident and marveling at how Gass explained the pathophysiology with simple yet telling diagrams. This book rates a solid 6 stars (on the five star scale!).

Gass book's is a superb book,for students, fellows,and practitioners,This book has the most important of Macular and
retina diseases.

This book is incredibly cool. It has 15 ViewMaster reels with it that give you an up-close look at some things that can go wrong with your eyes. In fact the problem with this book it that it is too close -- and all the VM photos look more or less the same.

However, Volume II -- "Orbit, lacrimal apparatus, eyelids, and conjunctiva" by David D. Donaldson is much better. Stomach-churning pictures of the grossest eye problems you've ever seen -- all in glorious ViewMaster 3-D.

Both of these books are must-haves, but after Donaldson's masterpiece, Gass' is a little bit of a let-down.
