Ophthalmology, 3rd Edition
able quick reference. Differential lists are often then reinforced by the illustrations. It is certainly difficult for the novice to attain a comprehensive picture of neuroophthalmology. So much material must be absorbed and integrated. But a picture is worth a thousand words. The authors are much better teachers by eliminating tens of thousands of words and replacing them with illustrations. All the important topics are addressed. Subtle details may be left out, but the es.sential is here. I could imagine a resident, deciphering an OKAP question, and bringing page and illustration from this book to mind and acing the answer. This is a book not only for students, but also teachers. I plan on frequently pulling this book out in clinic and using the simple approach of this book and its illustrations to put specific patients in perspective. The authors use three reviewer quotes in their preface to this second edition. I was certainly skeptical of this dramatic, perhaps over the top, self endorsement by the selection bias. But I am now a believer. The authors can now count me as one of those gushing reviewers. This is an exceptional and superlative educational tool for all.
