Excellent!! One of my attendings introduced this book to me while I was on my clinical rotations during 4th year. It's a great tool to turn to for a quick procedure reference, especially for some of those obscure tests which you maybe haven't performed since 2nd year lab. No fancy diagrams or color photos, but plenty of useful background info on common systemic conditions and ocular conditions. Highly recommended for anyone providing primary eye care.

Many eye-care providers know Dr. Onofrey from his entertaining and informative continuing education seminars. He has compiled an excellent manual of treatment options for ocular pathology. This handy 6" x 8" book of 700+ pages is a complete source useful for optometrists, ophthalmologists, and physicians. It has sections on ocular microbiology, laboratory tests, medication side effects, and ocular pharmaceuticals. The main text has monographs on over 150 ocular disorders. Under each heading is the ICD code and descriptions of the pathophysiology, etiology, clinical symptoms, signs, demographics, family history tendancies, clinical tests as well as treatment recommendations and schedules.
I would say that the only drawback to this book is the lack of graphics and illustrations but that this would make an excellent companion to other books that limit themselves to presentations of clinical signs such as Kanski and Nischal's Ophthalmology.
