Reviews
"This book by Lanning Kline and Frank J. Bajandas remains a classic, well-organized, easy-to-access review of a difficult subject. It is full of useful mnemonics and other ways to learn neuro-ophthalmology, but despite the clever mnemonics and humor, this book never loses sight of its overall mission. For the doctor who sees the occasional neuro-ophthalmology patient, this book should be an excellent resource. Residents should read this book, because they can learn the subject material. The book could also be an excellent resource on a general practitioner’s shelf, because it is concise and easy to use. Kline and Bajandas should be congratulated on keeping this fine book up to date and in print."
— William V. Good, Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute, San Francisco, California, Optometry and Vision Science
"The major strength of this review manual is its excellent use of illustrations, anatomy diagrams and tables. Its pint format makes it easy to read in a short period of time. Overall, this is a very good introductory textbook for residents in ophthalmology and neurology and can be used as a quick reference book by practitioners in either discipline. It is still the best-sized review book available on the topic for residents preparing for their in-training exams and will continue to be a popular choice for this purpose."
