Review :
"The book’s goal is to act as a 'last minute' review text, covering the most important topics that will likely be encountered on board and licensing examinations.... All chapters are presented in a question-and-answer format only, rather than lengthy text summaries.... The answers to the questions are concise, well-written, and often humorous, with memory aids and clinical pearls throughout. The illustrations are clear and well-crafted and make many of the concepts easier to understand.... This is the third edition of the reviewed book, and this version adds a third author, reorganizes the subjects a bit for a more logical flow, and adds color to illustrations, as well as an online version, making it a very useful update. I would highly recommend it for students and residents who want to quiz themselves on what areas they need to strengthen and to enhance their understanding of fuzzy concepts." Review by John Mark Jackson, OD, MS (Southern College of Optometry), ©Doody's Review Service 2025.
