Kanski's Clinical Ophthalmology: A Systematic Approach 9th Edition

Great info.

Reading this book is easy and straightforward and gives a great introduction to ophthalmology for the medical student bound for ophtho or for an intern or first year resident.

This is a great introductory book for an intern or first year ophthalmology resident. It's a much better introduction than the BCSC with plenty of pictures and simple explanations. I really enjoyed it and refer back occasionally to refresh on the basics. You're going to need a denser text to supplement.There are an embarrassing number of spelling and grammar errors, graphs with the default "series 1" and "series 2" labeling, and other weird formatting. Not really things you would expect to find in the 9th edition of a textbook but I guess the publisher has a small audience is just trying to make a quick buck.

I find the book very complete and the illustrations are wonderful.
