A book that covers the basics of the most common ocular conditions and the simplest explanations available on the pharmacology of the usual medications. An excellent teaching guide!

Love this book, it is concise and easy to read. It even tell you what the "patient needs to know". Very helpful .

Helpful, not the in depth review required in my institutional practice, but a fair to decent reference for the average healthcare worker
