  - Yes, get it for Optometry!This is an excellent review of most ocular diseases. It is NOT too much for Optometry. Those kind of reviews are what allows other health care professionals to belittle our profession. We must know and treat all ocular diseases as Optometric physicians and this book provides great information and pictures. Of course, more pictures are always better and Yanoff and Duker have only chosen to display pictures of typical presentations of conditions. However, this book provides a good basis of important information. Rating:  - Don't get it for OptometryThis book is way too much. We were required to get it for Disease class and I regret it! This book has entirely too much information and goes into too much detail. It's very hard to carry around anywhere or even to use in the office. They should have put it in 2 volumes and had it divided into surgery and disease processes or something. Bottom line, too much information for most people. Rating: - Excellent ResourceAs an ophthlamology resident, I find that this is the most comprehensive textbook available in the field. While in my first year I was satisfied using the BSCS and Kanski as my primary references, I now find that I am turning more frequently to Yanoff and Duker as my primary source of information for grand rounds, OKAP studying, and Board review. While the text is large, it is highly accurate and full of high quality illustrations and figures. This translates to less time spent cross-referencing information, and more time absorbing the well-written text and learning the information. This text is an essential volume. Rating:  - I like this book, but tend to use another more often.I'm one who likes medical texts, and I actually try to read most of what I buy. This is a excellent text. I think the organization is good, but that there is definitely room for improvement. The pictures are good, and the text is excellent, but could be slightly more concise. For these reasons, in addition to the very large size of the book, whenever there is something I need to look up, I generally reach for the Kanski textbook first as I find the pictures are just as good, the text slightly more concise but just as informative, and it is definitely easier on my back. I would recommend this book, but would look at Kanski too before you make your decision. Rating: - Actually, a review for the 1st ed, but I'm sure the 2nd ed is even betterI love to buy medical books. However, I hardly ever use the medical books I buy. The Yanoff-Duker Ophthalmology book is one of the few exceptions to the rule. The layout is awesome, and extremely consistent throughout all the subspecialities of ophthalmolgy. The summary at the beginning of each chapter is succinct, packed with the necessary info, and well organized. The rest of the chapter always has a logical flow and has just enough detail. This book and the Wills Eye Manual are the two MUST HAVE books in any ophthalmologist's office. |
