Reviews

Basic Ophthalmology has been the go to book for medical students and primary care doctors for decades. This latest edition improves on the classic text with a fresh look, links to videos, and the latest in need-to-know ophthalmic knowledge. This will continue to be required reading for every medical student at the University of Pittsburgh
