Good choice, but some flawsMarch 23, 2009 A. D. Sanchez(Mexico) I'm a second-year resident in ophthalmology. I wanted to get this book since it's been around for some 10 years now and it has good references. And the truth is, it is a nice one, full of clinical images and tables, streamlined format, color-coded for convenience, up-to-date with some of the newest therapies and backed up on the newest research, well explained surgical procedures, easy to read to the point that it covers only the most relevant information, and great for the busy life and often limited study time of the resident; I definetily use it as a starting point for reviewing any given topic, but please note, ONLY as a starting point, since it is not as thorough as one might need, and this is especially true for oculoplastics. The bottom line is that I recommend this book for fast and accurate gathering of general information, previos to a more detailed review on more robust texts, or to efficiently reinforce essentials on previuosly acquired knowledge. Hope this helps.
Yes, get it for Optometry!October 7, 2007 Dallas Opto(Dallas, Texas USA) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
Don't get it for OptometryFebruary 19, 2007 Brandi Robinson(Broken Arrow, OK) 1 out of 8 found this review helpful
This 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.
Excellent ResourceJanuary 28, 2007 Brad(Washington, DC) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As 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.
I like this book, but tend to use another more often.April 28, 2006 Ocular/Orbital Surgeon(USA) 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.
