Each year the arrival of Year Book of Ophthalmology is eagerly awaited. The introductions at the start of each sub-speciality section are particularly useful. Each introduction briefly summarises the main advances and developments that have occurred in the previous year. As a broad source of information with minimum time demand required, it is especially helpful. The eleven sub-speciality sections are:
Following the introductory overview, each section consists of concise summaries of selected significant peer-reviewed journal articles followed by a brief discussion by the section editor. This discussion places the importance of the article in perspective, enhancing or even sometimes diminishing its relevance to current ophthalmic practice. * This year's edition does not disappoint and can readily be recommended for providing an overview of the past year's developments. All ophthalmologists, both generalists and sub-specialists, can benefit from reading this book; it will help bring them up to date with developments they might not be aware of outside their own main area of interest. This is something worth doing once a year. At a minimum, reading the summary overviews is well worth the effort. Gary L. Leber
* If an article is of particular interest, a copy of the full article can be obtained from the library. This is available for purchase through the Library's Bookshop Service, or available for loan through the library.
