Reviews

“. . .this book is very unique and desirable. Even though a plethora of information is included, it is presented in an easy to digest format. I would highly recommend this book for all new optometry students and ophthalmology residents to the clinic.”

— Brian D. Marshall, OD, Doody’s Reviews "…provides an outstanding overview of the theoretic aspects of the eye exam, and it provides an excellent foundation for students and novice eye care professionals just beginning to get hands-on, practical experience working in the eye clinic. Schwartz's adherence to just detailing the basic facts, and his relaxed writing style makes this book accessible not only to ophthalmic students and professionals, but also to motivated lay readers."
