This book is another addition to the popular Self Assessment Color Review series and covers small animal ophthalmology. As is tradition with this series, the questions are random to reflect the variety and unpredictable nature of veterinary practice with a text that contains color pictures to aid in the recognition of the disease process. Questions cover problems associated with the ciliary body, conjunctivae, cornea, eyelids, globe, iris, lens, nictitating membrane, pupil, retina, fundus, sclera, and vitreous. It also covers periorbital and periocular problems, diagnostic tests, and surgical techniques. Each question is followed by an answer that includes a detailed explanation and, in most cases, further information about the topic being discussed. This detailed explanation is what holds the Self Assessment Color Review series above other review books in that it not only tests but also educates the reader. Also included is a list of recommended texts for the reader who wishes to expand his or her knowledge even further.
The book is small and compact making it easy to carry anywhere for a quick review. It is also a valuable resource for the veterinary student who is studying for boards as well as the practicing veterinarian wishing to become a specialist in ophthalmology.
