Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Amber Labelle, DVM, MS, DACVO (University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine)
Description: A photo-based self-examination, this book allows readers to examine clinical images and test themselves on important diagnostic and therapeutic principles in veterinary ophthalmology.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide case-based examples of common diseases in small animal ophthalmology. While other self-guided learning books are available, this one is unique in its clinical photo-based learning format. The authors are successful in providing self-review of common small animal ophthalmic diseases.
Audience: It is written for students and general veterinary practitioners. Students will find it a useful self-assessment of common ophthalmic disease. Dr. Brooks, the lead author, is a well-known veterinary ophthalmologist.
Features: This book provides self-guided, case-based learning. Readers are presented with a short signalment, history, or relevant clinical information and then asked a series of 1-5 questions regarding the case. Turning the page reveals the answers. This style of book is particularly useful for students or general practitioners looking to assess their understanding of common diseases in small animal veterinary ophthalmology. It is intended as a self-assessment text, not a reference book.
Assessment: This book is unique in its succinct presentation of case material followed by neat summaries.
