Excellent reference.,

This review is from: Vaughan & Asbury's General Ophthalmology (Paperback)
Although I have not yet finished the book, from what I have read I feel it is the perfect beginning book in ophthalmology. At least it was exactly what I was looking for as a soon-to-be ophthalmology resident. I also initially came across it as a medical student and feel it is a great book for medical students considering the field for their career.
