To current OD's,
Are there any textbooks that you use regularly for reference in clinical practice (ex: Wlil's eye manual)? I'm an optometry student wondering if I should buy any textbooks for school that would be also be useful for the future. Thanks!

This is a good textbook for a student as I felt it covered a lot from 1st-3rd year subjects in an easy, well-written level designed for the learning optometry student and has lots of pictures and diagrams (similar to a high school textbook). I checked it out at my library for 2 years. It's not a reference book like you're asking for though so I guess this is offtopic.

If you want a reference book, Wills Eye Manual are Mass Eye and Ear are usual go-to's.
