Chris Gilmartin, OD
Great clinical reference for OD/MD students, residents, and fellows. Much more useful than the previous "blue" edition without photos. Can be somewhat helpful in preparing for the OD Steps II and III boards, but it's really designed for assisting in clinical decision-making, chairside or bedside. Highly recommended.

Comprehensive Starter Guide
I purchased this guide for my initial ophthalmology rotation. This book is full of succinct, but quality information on a broad spectrum of eye diseases. Very easy to reference and find quick information. A must for anyone in medical school or residency.

Excellence in Eyecare
Wow! I was blown away by this book. The pictures are great and the summaries of each condition are even better. It's a fantastic book and a must-have for any eyecare professional. It is not even that expensive so it makes it totally worth it.

DR KOENIGSBERG OPHTHALMOLOGY REVIEW WILLS EYE
Wills Eye is a classic text. Most ophthalmologists likely own a copy. This is a definite must for all ophthalmology residents. I continue to refer to it in my practice, and in particular, in the emergency room ophthalmology setting. Adam Koenigsberg MD
