Customer Reviews
See it to believe it.
The ABC of eyes provided me, a third year British medical student, with just what I needed. It is a fantastic introduction to opthalmology for anyone with a basic grounding in the medical sciences. The book focuses on the main areas of the speciality best of all is concise. If you are looking for a text that will enable you to impress your consultants with bizzare abstract knowladge then this is not for you. If however what you want is a quick non nonsence overview of a highly complicated field in just one evening the look no further you have found the book for you. Put simply, this book is the first step on the ophthalmic ladder, all be it a short step it is made a very smooth one by the digestable format and ease of which it reads.
