Review:

"The individual chapter authors read like a Who's Who of ophthalmology. Each chapter is extensively referenced. The numerous color illustrations are all of excellent quality, particularly evident and valuable in the extensive color retinal photography. Overall, Ophthalmology is one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date single reference texts in the field."--JAMA, June 23/30, 2004―Vol 291, No 24
Highly commended by the British Medical Association, 2004.

This is the most comprehensive one-volume textbook of ophthalmology. The book is superbly structured and comprises 12 parts clearly separated by colour coding; each part covers a varying number of chapters.The illustrations...are unique and homogenous throughout all chapters. One cannot but be impressed by this book's format. There is no doubt that this textbook is of extraordinary quality: an ideal desk reference for the ophthalmologist, an ideal basis for the resident in training in ophthalmology, a "handy library of ophthalmology" in one single book.
