Already the standard for reference in most Optometric offices, this new edition of the Wills Eye Manual is not only eye appealing but practical for quick in-office help. With a nice collection of pictures, quality glossy paper, and clean arrangement, it has become even easier to find what you are looking for as well as please the senses simultaneously. This new edition comes with updated procedures and pharmacology, notes and tidbits scattered throughout the book offering clinical advice, and of course the ever awe-inspiring 200+ photos, colored headings, and tabs. As a soon to be grad, I highly recommend this book to not only students but doctors alike.

Wow! I was blown away by this book. The pictures are great and the summaries of each condition are even better. It's a fantastic book and a must-have for any eyecare professional. It is not even that expensive so it makes it totally worth it.

I purchased this guide for my initial ophthalmology rotation. This book is full of succinct, but quality information on a broad spectrum of eye diseases. Very easy to reference and find quick information. A must for anyone in medical school or residency.

Wills Eye is a classic text. Most ophthalmologists likely own a copy. This is a definite must for all ophthalmology residents. I continue to refer to it in my practice, and in particular, in the emergency room ophthalmology setting. Adam Koenigsberg MD

Great clinical reference for OD/MD students, residents, and fellows. Much more useful than the previous "blue" edition without photos. Can be somewhat helpful in preparing for the OD Steps II and III boards, but it's really designed for assisting in clinical decision-making, chairside or bedside. Highly recommended.

I bought this book for an ophthalmology sub-internship and it was a godsend on that rotation, and on every primary care rotation I have had since. Covers basic eye complaints, to more advanced diseases in full color, complete with pictures (gross and slit-lamp) for almost, if not all, conditions listed in the book. Organized very well based on part of the being examined. Also has some good differentials listed in an index for things like red-eye.

Definitely in every ophthalmologist's bookcase (if not on the desk!) and a must for primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, and PAs.

This book is a must for anyone interested in Ophthalmology: med student or resident. It covers a s/sx, ddx, tx, etc. I found it very useful during my Ophthalmology rotations as a med student.

Excellent book for any healthcare professional, including ophthalmologists, optometrists, urgent care and primary care physicians. It outlines in an easy-to-read format emergency treatments and follow ups for various conditions and should be in any physician's library.

Used this as my main study guide for oral boards. Also took Osler mock oral course, but this is good for getting the material in your head. Osler helps you learn how to organize and deliver the material in a systematic fashion. Quite honestly I think Osler is way overpriced and unorganized. Just sit with a collegue that recently took the oral boards or Osler to run through a few cases. You'll get a hang of it after a few cases. Strongly Recommend Wills. Don't waste your time reading through BCSC

This is a very valuable reference book for anyone involved in the care of eye patients. It is concise but detailed enough, and easy to read. Very useful during on call shifts as a quick reference text. Also describes how to perferm certain emergency procedures, eg lateral canthotomy.
