For current residents (Ophtho_MudPhud):

Could you recommend a comprehensive ophthalmology textbook? I will be starting an ophthalmology residency in the summer and would like something in addition to the Wills Eye Manual.

Thank you.

I highly recommend reading the Will's eye manual and covering the sections pertaining to the rotation that you're in. For instance, read the Cornea chapters before starting the Cornea service.

In addition, I also recommend reading books from the requisites series:

A good general textbook I read from is:

By Jack Kanski on general ophthalmology.

Good luck!

You may want to look at the Academy's Basic and Clinical Science Course. They are used to prepare for the ophthalmology board exam and most people use it to study for the OKAPS (practice board exams residents take each year). Most residency programs provide these books for the residents. I think there are 13 or 14 volumes in all.

The Albert & Jakobiec's "Principle and Practice of Ophthalmology" is a multi-volume comprehensive text for ophthalmologists.

Lange publishes a "General Ophthalmology" text which is a good intro book for easy reading.
