Misleading Title
Don't be fooled. This textbook has NO paediatric ophthalmology in it! It is essentially a neuro-ophthalmology manual. To it's credit, it has very up-to-date information and the "highlighted text box" style makes it easy to read. ... Read more

This is an excellent text. I know Dr Nelson personally, and he and Dr Harley do an amazing job at describing important concepts in Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus. This is certainly an important part of the library of any pediatric ophthalmologist.

One of the best picture books out there.
This is what an atlas ought to be. Pictures, pictures, and more pictures. This is not a textbook of ophthalmology but rather it is a picture atlas with multiple pictures of disease processes. The photos are of great quality and have an identifying caption. Thats it. Very little text.

For those studying for your oral board certification exam, this is a great resource of photographs to use. The spectrum and volume of photos truly surpasses that found in the Spalton atlas as well as the Will's atlas.Just remember, and I repeat myself, this is not a textbook.

A beatiful volume and very comprehensive atlas
Simply one of the finest reviews of Ophthalmolgy in existense.This volume is packed with full color photos on every ophthalmic disease process imaginable as well as photos from the associated systemic diseases.There are external, slit lamp, fundus, periphery, IVFA, ICG, and radiagraphic photos for each diagnosis as indicated by clinical workup.Multiple photos of each disease demonstrate mild to severe manifestations, not just the classic worst case scenario.This book is designed primarily for Ophthalmologists, not primary care physicians.90% of the diagnoses in this book require an Ophthalmologist's consultation.The book is high quality and even includes a CD with all of the images available for use in presentations.My only gripe is that the limited text is written in the Queen's English, so terms such as Oedma show up to irritate Americans. I do like the Spalton Atlas approach of pointing out the important findings in a line drawing next to the photo, and a slightly more in-depth discussion of the disease processes could be included, but the photo quality and quantity is simply unmatched.As the title implies, this is a clinical atlas- there are few or no microscopic pathology pictures.The stabismus section is also somewhat limited, but at less than $150 this atlas is a steal.

Not for primary care
I am a 3rd year family medicine resident.I thought that as a brand new edition, this would be an update to the 2003 version,
Clinical Opthalmology: A Systematic Approach also by Kanski.I was sorely mistaken.Much different than a textbook that gives you clinical information such has diagnosis and management that you can use, this book is almost 100% nothing but pictures, a glorified atlas.It is utterly useless for primary care practitioners.I would not be so disappointed in this had it not been so similarly titled as the previous, excellent text I mentioned.For all those who are not practicing ophthalmologists, the older text is definitely recommended above this. ...
