Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A book to have
I ordered this book online after recommendations from some of my professional colleagues. First, i was amazed by the caliber of its contributors-all consultants (MDs). Its a very rich ophthalmologic book, with numerous clinical ocular conditions and treatments well presented. Its a real EYE MANUAL if you ask me. At the moment, i think, it should be a mini bible for every eyecare professional- Optometrists/Ophthalmologists). The book is a must-have. I recommend it.

BG Williams, apparently, is myopic. The Wills Eye Manual is the gold-standard for quick-reference ocular diagnoses and therapies. Put on your glasses and grab hold of this precious metal of a book to keep you conviently current and polished.

If that last sentence didn't make complete sense to you, you're not the target audience for this book.
Rating: - BG Miller doesn't know what he is talking about
This text has been the standard reference for managing ophhtalmic emergencies for a long time. It does not have pretty pictures because it is not meant for the general public or general physicians. It's meant for ophthalmologists, and to a lesser extent optometrists I suppose, who need the diagnostic differentials and treatment guidelines, not pictures. Recommended for every ophthalmology resident and every ophthalmology office.
Rating: - Really a great book.
This book provides a very well structured and organized framework for beginning ophthalmology residents while on call. It has good descriptions including signs and symptoms, appropriate diagnostic tests and treatments. It is true that there are no pictures, but it is not meant to be a comprehensive text nor an atlas. My only qualm is that not all treament recommendations offer enough guidance on selecting the appropriate treatment, at least for the beginning resident to be able to make a quick ... Read More
