Just wondering whether my fellow OD students think it's work buying Kanski's Clinical Ophthalmology... all nine hundred pages of it?

Should be able to get it for ~$133

Any other books you might suggest? Already have Mass Eye Guide for PDA, but not comfortable to sit down with and read for along time.
 
Wills Manual is a good one that goes anywhere you go. It was a good inconspicuous book I could take anywhere when studying for Boards.

Whether you get Kanski or not, you'll need an atlas of some sort. Kanski is the default for most OD students.
 
Kanski is a good book overall. I also really like Yanoff. It is very expensive, but it has almost everything in it and is also a lot more in depth.
