Review Questions in Ophthalmology by Kenneth Wright

Review Questions in Ophthalmology by Kenneth Wright

Updated for its Second Edition, this question-and-answer review book offers a concise review of ophthalmology. It combines a review of basic ophthalmology with real-life clinical cases and multiple-choice questions with answers and explanations. More than 400 clinical photographs, fluorescein angiograms, and CT, MRI, and ultrasound images help readers master this visually oriented specialty. This edition has over 100 new full-color illustrations. Focusing on common diseases, the book covers all specialty rotations, plus key areas such as embryology, anatomy, pediatrics, plastics, and lenses. This edition includes new cases and information on new drugs, especially glaucoma drugs.

Clinical and Experimental Opthalmology, Volume 34 -- The latest edition of Review Questions in Ophthalmology is a comprehensive question and answer book aimed primarily at ophthalmology registrars approaching final examinationsAll the information is presented in a multiple-choice format with clear and concise explanations provided at the end of each chapter. There is an emphasis on case-based scenarios. The book is illustrated with both colour and black and white photographs including clinical photographs, imaging and fluoroscein angiograms. Overall, I found this to be a comprehensive text that would be a useful self-assessment tool for registrars approaching final examinations. The clinically orientated and pathology sections are excellent and the multiple-choice format is a nice break from reading didactic texts.

A caring physician, Dr. Kenneth W. Wright is devoted to the welfare of children and the health of their eyes. He is an internationally respected pediatric ophthalmologist and strabismus surgeon.

Dr. Wright has operated on royalty and famous celebrities, however, as fate would have it his youngest of Dr. Wright's five children developed crossed eyes in infancy. Rather than refer out, Dr. Wright performed early surgery on his own son with great results, as his son later became a top sharp shooter in the US Marines Corp. Dr. Wright founded the Wright Foundation for Pediatric Ophthalmology, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, whose mission is to reduce blindness and suffering from eye disorders in children through research, education, and clinical care. To this end, Dr. Wright has established a special pediatric eye clinic that serves underprivileged children.
