  - Solid review bookI still have 3 chapters left to finish this book but so far it's been great and well worth my money. Almost every chapter starts with a review of some background information, then for each disease entity, he gives you a little paragraph summarizing important points before going into more detail discussing the pathology and special tests, etc. There are so many helpful diagrams, pictures, and tables and almost everything is in a list format (rather than big paragraphs of text). It's kinda like first aid for step 1 but not as comprehensive. I would have given this book 5 stars if it was more comprehensive and included some optics and other topics (as other reviewers have pointed out). Bottom line: not perfect, but great book/well worth your cash. Rating: - A must have for the Ophthalmology residentVery high yield review book with logical organization and systematic approach to reviewing clinical ophthalmology. There is no section on optics or pathology, but despite this shotcoming I can give no less than 5 stars. Dr Chern has done more for resident education with his books than almost any other single person in the field of Ophthalmolgy. When coupled with the Chern question book you should do well on the OKAPs and boards. Rating: - Excellent ReviewThis 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. Rating: - excellent review for the boards!excellent review for the boards! a must read for all residents. Rating: - The best review book in ophthalmolgyThis 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. |
