Review:

" This fourth edition modernizes previous publications with up-to-date therapeutic algorithms and medications, diagnostic imaging, genetics and chromosome mapping, an expanded retina and choroid chapter, and instructive photographs. Although the target audience is the practicing ophthalmologist, this manual should also benefit optometrists as well as other health care providers who triage and/or manage ocular disease." Optometry and Vision Science - VOL. 91, NO. 11

"This book covers every major area in ophthalmology by anatomic location (e.g., cornea, retina, neuro-ophthalmology). For many of the conditions, there is a unique "management box" that highlights key points for management of disorders that is very helpful. The many color pictures also complement the text well."-Shira Simon, MD, MBA(Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine) Doody Review: 88/100
