16 reviews for Ophthalmology Made Ridiculously Simple

  1. David R. Amies – Ophthamology made ridiculously simpple –

    I am an retired ophthalmologist who spends part of the year supervising medical students in Australia. I deliver a number of lectures under the title of Undergraduate Ophthalmology. Drs Goldberg and Trattler’s little book is an admirable resource for both me and the students I teach. For undergraduates, eye diseases are regarded as tiger country and this little book most certainly provides a splendid guide through the ocular jungle.
    Highly recommended.

  2. A.C. – Great for M3 and M4 students –

    Very useful for a third or fourth-year medical student just looking to do well on their ophthalmology elective.

  3. John G. – Five Stars –

    The BEST training I got in ophthalmology. Better than in Medical School!

  4. mgn2282 – As good as Gold! –

    I read this book the first week of my ophthalmology residency and I thought it was awesome! It was a very concise review with some new points worked in. It has a limited life (will not be of help after the first couple of months) but I think it is a must read for all new ophthalmology residents right before you start.

  5. Jody Cramer – A necessity for training –

    We rely on this book to train in nurses who are unfamiliar with ophthalmology.

  6. David Jacobson – Concise –

    The book is well written and straight to the point. Perfect for FP/IM clinical needs. The CD is great and has plenty of information that would otherwise require a lot more time to find.

  7. Mario Hevesi – A quick two afternoon read that leaves you on solid Opthalmology ground –

    Pros: easy to read, good and simple illustrations, everything you need without excess fuss (from a medical school perspective, not as a specialist)
    Cons: Clinical photographs would be appreciated. Not to be depended upon as an exhaustive resource. Fewer funny and memorable images for those used to “Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple”.

  8. sandy barrett – Five Stars –

    Great for ophthalmic beginners.

  9. Susan K Troxell – Full of imformation –

    I bought this book and had it sent to my daughter. She had been studying for her COA and has now passed that test and is working on her COT – An excellent adjunctive study guide.

  10. Sami P. Tarabishy – Five Stars –

    good book, easy to read, just the basics, helped me ophtho elective

  11. MagicsMom – eyes made easy –

    This book has awesome drawings and the wording makes teaching info about the eyes so easy! Anyone can use this book!

  12. Daniel Duff – A Must Read –

    Great book for the office staff, the OR staff or anyone in the ophthalmology field. Easy to read and understand.

  13. DHO – Great book for students interested in Ophthalmology –

    This is a very simple and easy to read book that gives you enough information to talk intelligently on your ophthalmology rotation. It is not enough to pass the OKAPS nor to get by in your residency.

    It’s a good book for students.

    Wish me luck in the match!

  14. Betsye Gorman – Five Stars –

    Best book for learning the system of the eye

  15. John J. Talarico – Four Stars –

    Very nicely put together along with the CD which I found very helpful and useful
