This book is incredibly clinical and incredibly detailed. It works well if you are in your last years or in residency and need a reference for managing your posterior segment ophthalmic diseases. Color pictures are good, as well as descriptions for fluorescien angiography analysis.

The organization of this book can only be explained as superb. Each pathology and condition is detailed and outlined with excellent accompanied illustrations, color plates, tables and histology diagrams.For example the section on retinal vascular disorders has a section on neovascularization with retinal photographs and fluorescein angiographs depecting areas on neovascularization along with highlighting arrows. There are figures showing the etiology of neovascularization along with tables explaining associated pathologies and clinical pearls. The clinical pearls are short summaries of clinical presentations, symptoms and management/treatment considerations that are helpful when time is critical. These features are all in addition to the the detailed but concise text.I especially appreciated the generous use of schematics, illustrations and graphs in the book to bolster the understanding of the conditions and treatments. This book is almost as good as having a retinal consultant in your office. I very highly recommend this both to practitioners and students of optometry and opthalomology.

This book is written by an O.D. with clearly extensive experience in research and patient care. I'm a 3rd year, and have noticed that often in our courses in school, doctors are so used to complex terminology and easily assume we know the background, so they skip over basic (essential) details of how to do things or what things mean. This text starts at the very beginning, such as explaining where exactly dot-blot hemes and cotton wool spots are located, with very clear diagrams. Of course it also proceeds to go into advanced material as well. It is extremely well written and well laid out, I HIGHLY recommend it.
