Cameron-Smith (ACT, Australia) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful For various reasons, I keep referring to eye-related books. Developing (or acquiring) additional eye-related problems appears to be a major focus for me at present, and I am delighted to be reading a large print edition of this book. I've read this book twice: the first time was over 12 months ago when I was looking for very specific information about a relatively rare eye issue. This book did not contain exactly what I was looking for then (but neither did any other book I could locate). However, I did remember that this book contained quite a lot of information about glaucoma and cataracts and it is for that reason that I am referring back to it. I like the presentation of this book: it starts with the anatomy of the eye, discusses how we see, different eye examinations, and a range of different eye and related problems. The book also contains some great diagrams of the structures of the eye, of the various pieces of equipment used in eye examinations as well as good diagrammatic presentations of focus. Yes, it is true that this book does not contain an exhaustive reference to all eye conditions. I doubt that any book accessible to a generalist reader could do that effectively. But the strength of this book, for me, is that it enables me to refer back to information that I do not always retain during consultations but need to make sense of in order to understand proposed treatment. I recommend this book to those who want to know more about the structures of the eye and how they work as well as to those who are looking for comparatively detailed information about cataracts and glaucoma. There is no substitute for professional care and advice, but this book can be a useful aid for those of us who are print-oriented and need to read in order to retain information. I should acknowledge, too, that treatments can change and surgical techniques undergo continual refinement. However, the underlying anatomy of the eye and the basic methods of examination are generally constant. Jennifer Cameron-Smith Good Info October 24, 2008 Jeff Padgett Easy reading, full of medical terms that are explained well for the lay person. Good for gaining a well rounded education. It needs a new edition to update the surgical technology advancements. Superbly Informative May 25, 2005 R. S. Lenz (Belgrade, MT) I bought this book two years ago when my eyesight was failing. It described in detail using both text and pictures the cataract surgery I was to undergo, thus allowing me to be an informed patient. I recommend this book highly for anyone interested in educating themselves about eye health and treatment. An intelligent and concise read. Very Technical August 25, 2001 taleeya (Vancouver, BC Canada) 5 out of 6 found this review helpful This is a very encyclopedia-type of book. It has a lot of information about different eye problems and is a great book describing the functions of the different parts of the eye and what goes on at visits to the eye doctor. But it doesn't give alot of information on saving your sight, taking care of your eyes, remedies for problems or anything like that. The book claims to be "The Owner's Manual for your Eyes" but I don't think this to be very accurate. Its from 1998, but doesn't even include alot about laser surgery. A Great Book December 14, 2000 1 out of 2 found this review helpful The Eye Book by Gary Cassel is extremely well-organized and easy to read. Anyone wanting to know how their amazing eyes work should read this book. It also conveys basic information about many eye diseases. Showing reviews 1-5 of 11 1 2 3 Next »
