Summary: Perfect book for the medical student
Comment: As a medical student taking a retina elective, I wanted a book that would provide sufficient detail and color photographs at a reasonable price. This book fits the bill.

In terms of content, this book works perfectly for a beginner. The first chapter begins with the anatomy and physiology of the retina. The second covers ancillary testing from fluorescein angiography to OCT. The third chapter then provides the clinical features and differential diagnosis for a variety of retinal findings such as a cherry red spot. From there, the book continues as mentioned in the editorial review. I felt the first three chapters gave me a good foundation to understand the diseases presented later on. The writing is clear and concise throughout.

As for the photographs, there are hundreds of high-quality color photographs in this book. The entire text of the book with photographs can also be found on the CD-ROM. However, you cannot take the photographs from the CD-ROM for presentation purposes unless you have a full version of Adobe Acrobat as the entire thing is in pdf format. Being able to use the photographs for presentations would have been a plus as they are really superb.

I cannot compare this book to the Academy books since I am not a resident yet but it is certainly the best book I have seen available to me. I highly recommend it to any medical students or transitional year interns doing a retina elective.
