Ophthalmic Disease in Veterinary Medicine 1st Edition

Required book for ophthalmology, made necessary by the fact that professor's notes are not complete or that test answers are explicitly only in this. I thought the Kindle version would be useful especially for using Ctrl+F for specific concepts, but the search function is a nightmare - it will bring up every mention of that word without giving you any sense of where you are in the book/whether you're in the relevant section to do actual reading about said concept. While the organization of the book feels pretty standard, I really don't feel it's useful, and a good bit of useful information is missing. Several words, concepts, and treatments I searched that easily should have been included in any ophtho text weren't even present. Management of emergency conditions was lacking, too. I'm still feeling pretty helpless about ophtho after using this for a couple months. Another review mentions not expecting interventions or treatments - as a veterinary student, I definitely DO expect this in a text for a course systems class, and you should too. Too bad it's too late to return!

The book is entitled Opthalmic diseases in Vet med and that is all it is. The photos are good, but do not expect any treatment options or surgical interventions. The book was recommended by our closest opthalmologist. Perhaps I expected more. I need a book that helps me diagnose and treat. I would like to have some better outline of what are the best treatments that the author would recommend, as he is an expert in the field.

this is a great purchase for anyone interested in veterinary ophtho! Wonderful pictures, easy to understand and a good glossary. I would highly recommend this book
