Vitreoretinal Surgery, 2nd Edition

This is the second edition of a highly successful textbook that in many areas has become the preferred manual of vitreoretinal surgery. It provides a complete guide to all common vitreoretinal surgical procedures and also covers diagnosis and other aspects of management. Because it is a single-author publication, there is minimal duplication in the text, avoiding the confusion and overlap characteristic of multiauthor publications.

The book is designed to allow a trainee or professional vitreoretinal surgeon to determine the best methodology in individual cases. In order to acquaint the reader with different opinions, “surgical pearls” have been contributed by other international experts in vitreoretinal surgery. These have been welcomed in the past as an illustration of alternative methods, without detracting from the overall method described by the main author.

Vitreoretinal Surgery will continue to prove particularly popular amongst trainees, but will also be of value to practicing professionals who need help in the management of difficult and rare cases. The text is backed up by the provision of videos that illustrate some aspects of the surgery.

Rapid Diagnosis in Ophthalmology Series Retina, 1st Edition

This title in the Rapid Diagnosis in Ophthalmology Series presents a wealth of full-color images - along with differential diagnoses - in side-by-side page layouts to assist you in identifying a full range of retinal disorders. A templated format expedites access to the guidance you need to diagnose the most common retinal conditions - from simple to complex - encountered in practice.

  • Coverage of cutting-edge topics including lucentis therapy for wet ARMD, Avastin therapy for macular disease, and guidance on OCT imaging, help you keep your knowledge up to date.
  • Hundreds of full-color images present conditions as they present in real life.
  • Common diagnostic pitfalls discuss what to look out for when making a difficult diagnosis.
  • A templated, color-coded layout and differential diagnosis boxes for each condition help you make quick, accurate clinical decisions.
  • A focus on the most common conditions encountered in practice allows you to efficiently formulate treatment plans and referrals.
I think this book is very useful but not the cream of the crop as far as retina books are concerned. I think a lot of the pictures are great. I love the short summaries it provides for each disease. I like this book as a secondary resource or as a quick refresher so I think it is useful for these reasons but I would not use it as solitary or primary text due to the small amount of information that it summarizes for each disease. But I like having the book and refer to it from time to time.
