4.0 out of 5 stars Good review book, ideal for last -minute cramming as the authors suggest, October 10, 2007

By	Ophthalmology Resident (USA) - See all my reviews

Thousands of straightforward questions followed by a concise answer. When reading this book you very quickly highlight your weaknesses and are prompted to go back to the text and review. I think that this book is most beneficial for knowing your stuff when getting pimped by attendings and fellows who tend to ask pointed questions during surgery or in clinic. This book has every question that they have ever thought to ask and many more. I would like to see some photos in this book with the same type of pointed questions since Ophthalmolgy is so dependant on clinical appearance for diagnosis and treatment. There is no dedicated pathology section, but all other topics including optics and pharmacology are tested.
