Medical Science Books .com Medical book review:

     Clinicians involved with examinations of the eye, whether in the acute, primary care or specialist setting will find Color Atlas of Ophthalmology 2^nd Edition quite useful.  One might think of this highly portable handbook as a miniature general ophthalmology text rather than a typical atlas.  There is a chapter included on ocular pharmacology as well as several chapters focused on testing and common surgical procedures.

     The photographs and imaging figures are of the highest quality.  This would be expected of any atlas on the market.  That being said, it is important to mention that the authors don’t crowd each page with illustrations at the expense of clear and concise textual explanation to go along with them. This is where many atlases tend to lose points for usefulness.  Those seeking confirmation of a diagnostic finding are often confronted by a rarely seen condition and benefit from a refresher on etiology and treatment. 

    Small enough to fit in a labcoat pocket, comprehensive enough to serve the needs of even an experienced specialist….. Color Atlas of Ophthalmology 2^nd Edition is a great resource.
