"Once in a long while a specialist writes a textbook which even a general practitioner can get excited about. Such a book is the new Colour Atlas of Ophthalmology ... True to its title, this is an atlas of ophthalmology and the colour reproduction of the pictures is absolutely top rate."
| Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners, England |
"This book is lavishly illustrated entirely with high quality colour photographs ... The colours are rendered accurately, and the diagnosis of common eye conditions simply becomes a matter of matching the patient to the photograph."
| The Australian & New Zealand Journal of Surgery |
"There is an excellent distribution of external and fundus photographs, most of high quality ... a fine, brief atlas and text that deals with ophthalmologic disease on a practical level."
| American Journal of Ophthalmology |
"This small book is remarkable. The selection of material is excellent for a book intended for the student and the general practitioner. This book is highly recommended, and the teachers of undergraduates should bring the attention of their students to this publication."
| The Medical Journal of Australia |
"Although the authors have kept the volume 'small and handy with brief text', the presentation is practical and will be useful as a quick source of reference to students of medicine, ophthalmology and optometry and also family physicians and practising optometrists."
