This review is from: The Wills Eye Hospital Atlas of Clinical Ophthalmology (Hardcover)

This atlas is reasonably good. The text is average with short but adequate descriptions of diseases including clinical findings, workup, and treatment. The descriptions though are brief summaries and I dont think are intended to be comprehensive. The pictures are plentiful and of reasonable quality but could be a little bigger in places. My biggest complaint is that some topics are completely left out, such as some of the white dot syndromes like MEWDS and MFC. If you can get this atlas cheap, then it is probably worth it just to have an additional source of pictures to refer to.
