About this title

Review

"The individual chapter authors read like a Who's Who of ophthalmology. Each chapter is extensively referenced. The numerous color illustrations are all of excellent quality, particularly evident and valuable in the extensive color retinal photography. Overall, Ophthalmology is one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date single reference texts in the field."--JAMA, June 23/30, 2004-Vol 291, No 24 "E-dition is groundbreaking in both scope and quality, an on-line resource that encourages patient and doctor interaction while presenting the latest available data. A model for on-line textbooks everywhere. In either [print or online] form, Ophthalmology is a reference text that should be included in all Health Science libraries; also a 'can't miss' teaching text, for this book covers the full spectrum of eye disease and treatments in a readily accessible format." --Electric Review, February-March 2004. "Capably serves to fill the void between multi-volume ophthalmology texts and subspecialty texts...Wide-ranging and comprehensive, it is difficult to imagine a single text more thorough and easily utilized...The online version of Ophthalmology successfully uses modern technology in an innovative and effective way to keep the content up-to-date and easy to access. Despite some limitations with the search engine, I recommend this version for anyone considering buying the second edition of Ophthalmology. "-Survey of Ophthalmology "An excellent single source reference for both the training and practicing ophthalmologist...The editors sought to cover all aspects of ophthalmology in a single volume textbook that incorporated both clinical and basic science for the comprehensive ophthalmologist. They have amply achieved their goal."-American Journal of Ophthalmology
