Eye Pathology: An Atlas and Text

"THIS IS THE SECOND EDITION OF THIS EYE PATHOLOGY ATLAS from Ralph Eagle. To the author’s credit, he has made an excellent atlas even better. The text is now in the standard portrait format, which makes it more user friendly. The excellence of the first edition, primarily designed as an atlas and “basic text,” was marred by the deficient quality of some of the photographs. This deficiency has been addressed in the new edition, and the 259 new photographs are of superb quality. The clinical or gross photographs are typically included alongside photomicrographs of the same pathological entity. In the first edition, the text was totally separate from and preceded the figures, which were presented 4 to a page. The organization of each chapter has now been modified so that the figures are embedded within the text in a format more typical of textbooks.

The second edition of Eye Pathology: An Atlas and Text is invaluable as a study tool for ophthalmic pathology and well worth the purchase price. The review questions alone make this an exceptionally useful resource for ophthalmology residents. The book is not as comprehensive as some ophthalmic pathology textbooks, but it is not meant to be. It is, however, one of the best ophthalmic pathology study resources available and should be a part of any ophthalmologist’s library. No ophthalmology resident should be without it."

"Eye Pathology: An Atlas and Text is a solid addition to the eye atlas literature.
In terms of its appeal for use as an atlas, the quality of the images in this text are arguably the best currently available dealing with ocular pathology. The histological sections are exquisitely detailed as well as the many fundoscopic images. Additionally it is quite comprehensive in scope, despite being just over 300 pages in length.
This text is recommended for practicing eye care professionals in need of a quick reference and students interested in learning more about the eye. For those preparing for the boards, the included website with text, images, and review questions will be particularly helpful. "
