The book has some usefulness for students, house officers, and general practitioners as a quick reference in ophthalmology, but because of its succinct style it tends to speak directly to the practicing ophthalmologist. The text is divided into four sections: glossary of terms; differential diagnoses, including signs and symptoms; clinical ophthalmology with seven subsections; and the appendixes.
