This handbook is an atlas/textbook which combines superb quality photographs with excellent clinical information in the field of ophthalmology. The book is essentially a shorter, lighter version of Kanski's Clinical Ophthalmology which, of course, needs no introduction *. The practice of ophthalmology requires visual assessment and recognition of lesions and abnormalities, hence one picture is worth more than a thousand words. Kanski's synopsis has over 900 excellent illustrations, ranging from slit lamp and fundus photographs to visual fields, examination techniques and step-by-step surgical technique diagrams. Its concise format makes this book an excellent addition to any ophthalmology textbook. It is easy to read and very straightforward, ideal for the first years as an ophthalmology registrar. Reading it gives a sound, basic idea about most of the important conditions a registrar may come across. Although, it is not a substitute for more thorough textbooks, it is a useful summary; ideal for when one stops seeing the wood for the trees. The pocket size of the book makes it very portable. It is useful to carry with you and browse through quickly when seeing patients; if struggling to remember the differential diagnosis for lid retraction, the steps of trabeculectomy or the ocular manifestation of syphilis. This book is very good value for the time needed to spend reading
it. Highly recommended. Dr Ehud Zamir * There is also a review for Kanski's Clinical Ophthalmology on the website This is available for purchase through the Library's Bookshop Service, or available for loan through the library.
