This book is truly a wonderful review book. It is well organized, has excellent pictures and tables, and focuses very well on high yield information. There are few things not covered such as optics. Some of the newer treatments in retina such as PDT, IVK, macugen, avastin are obviously not included. But a few other things that could be improved are discussion of visual field interpretation, corneal topography interpretation, a little more on surgical techniques, particularly cataract, and coverage of refractive surgery as this is now included on the OKAPS and boards.

What I have done is written notes in the margins of additional facts and info from other texts such as kanski or the basic science series to make one source I can use for review.

Highly recommended. The Chern question book is excellent too.

excellent review for the boards! a must read for all residents.

This is the best review book in ophthalmology. (I have 3 other ophtho review books that were hardly ever used in favor of the Chern book.) A must-have for any ophthalmology resident.
