I am curious as to the standard reference text books that people are using at other schools to study for Part I. For instance, for the Ametropia and Spectacles portion of the test, what exact textbook would contain all of the information needed for the test? What biochemistry textbook are you using? I know that we are going to have to use our notes from class, but some schools say that they prepare their students better than others. So, I would like to start a thread where everyone can specifically state what textbook they are using for each of the Part I subject areas. If you feel that you only need your notes, good for you. I'm not interested in that. Nor am I interested in knowing the review books (Berkeley), Will's, etc.. I would like a concrete text book for each subject area that your school is recommending. I think this would really help people out. Thanks a bunch!

The first book you list is really an optician's text.
