I read this during my second year of ophthalmology residency and found it to be incredibly useful. It is easy to read with real, hilarious cases to explain the optics. The authors have a great sense of humor. Believe it or not, optics can be funny. I checked it out from our library, but bought my own copy for home because it is so good.

This book came in excellent condition, with service in less than 2 weeks!
Thank you!! =)

Milton and I, and all the contributors, have written lots of new material for this new 2006 edition:
- 5 new chapters patient selection, contact lens optics, soft contact lenses and the tear film, pediatric contact lenses, colored lenses
- all new CD-ROM, with hundreds of video-clips
- some of the CD-ROM multimedia sections are all-new, never before seen in any textbook! Such as the new "Fit this patient" interactive section in the Gas-Permeable Lens Fluorescein Patterns. Also the Clinical examination techniques, showing clinical use of the slitlamp biomicroscope, keratometer, tearscope, retinoscope, vertometer, radiuscope, and tonometer. The soft lenses and the tear film chapter aims to give the clinician "the keys" in fitting and prescribing soft lenses for best patient comfort.

My Aunt just had her eyes done at Long Island Eye Care... her descision was totally influenced by reading this and two other books on eye surgeries. She ended up avoiding Lasik and going with Mike Sable, a master. No scaring or pain, on visible anything 24 hours after the procedure...no dry eye... go to the Jordan of Surgery in your area if you are messing with your eyes. Cut no corners and read and study to inform this most crittical of descisions.

This book gave me all the information that I needed in order to make an educated decision regarding which refractive surgery was right for me. It is written in terms that a regular person can comprehend, which in turn, enabled me to communicate with my own physician more clearly.

I highly recommend this book if you are considering refractive surgery of any kind. You'll be glad you did!

A very good book with many helpfull pictures!

This book gives you everything you need to know about eyecare! It is great.

Although I have briefly glimpsed through this book at the medical bookshop, it is my humble opinion that the title truly lives up to it's readers expectations! I specifically looked up a couple of topics and briefly fingered through the topics (Stevens - Johnsons syndrome & acute anterior uveitis) - the book gave you the definition, the signs and symptoms, treatment, etc. This was done with much thought and care, systematically.I was about to purchase the Wills manual of Ophthalmoloy (not the exact title) but this book fulfills all my expectations in a pocket manual. As an ophthalmic nurse I am definitely getting this one.

This text does an incredible job of detailing and teaching how to perform orthokeratology. By the end of the book I felt very comfortable with the technique. The case histories were especially useful. I was able to successfully implement orthokeratology into my practice after reading this fine book.

I bought this book exclusively to research some social and historical characteristics of County Roscommon Ireland in the early 19th Century. My ancestors lived there around the time period on which the book is focused. This gave me a lot of helpful information in understanding why my ancestors may have left Ireland in those days to come to America. But I am not a scholar. So I wasn't afraid to keep a dictionary nearby as I read this well-written soft cover book.

The book provides an exceptional overview of the state of life in Roscommon in the period just prior to, and during, the famine years.It is, as usual with Maynooth Studies, well researched and chock full of statistics. Particularly interesting to me was the evolution and data relative to "Whiteboy" and Molly McGuire activity in Roscommon and environs.
