The free online ophthalmology book!
The greatest introduction to ophthalmology ever written?
At least, that’s how one fan describes OphthoBook! In fact, you can read hundreds of comments from satisfied readers left on this website! Here you’ll also find the free online version of OphthoBook and video-lectures for each chapter.
Since its inception, Dr. Root’s book, website, and online lectures have garnered over two-hundred thousand visitors and is regarded by medical students, optometry students, and ocular enthusiasts to be the most entertaining introduction to the eye ever created! With the help of corporate and private sponsors, the printed book has been donated to schools and libraries around the world, launching OphthoBook into the limelight as the premiere introduction to the eye.

A very good, short and informative introduction into ophthalmology for students or primary care physicians. The author has the educational talent to explain things clearly without any fuss. Highly recommended!

The author of the book is a very interesting guy who loves anything that has an optic system involved. The book is avery instructional aid for medical students.
Good luck Dr. Root in your new endeavors!!

What can I say? It is an incrediable book which helps me a lot to preparing the application of Residency. Also, I would like to make some correction about cornea at Page 32. “Conea should be measured around 540µm instead of 540nm”. Same mistakes also in PIMP question no.8. And, would it be possible to let me translate the book content to Traditional Chinese to introduce this excellent book for the medical students who speak Chinese?

This is one of the best resources I have read in 4 years of medical school. I highly recommend it for any student wanting to learn ophthalmology. A true benchmark in books for medical students!

Probably being stupid and have just missed it, but is there a section on iritis, scleritis and episcleritis? Is it in the pipeline? Videos are BRILLIANT by the way!

I attended the lecture you gave to the Florida Council Operating Room Nurses(FCORN) last month in Daytona and enjoyed your lecture more then all others combined. I have a great deal of Ophthalmology surgery experience here in FL and NY but no one ever put a twist on it’s presentation like you did. I want to get a copy of your book for my collection. Could you possibly autograph one for me.
Thanks

Exellent book
I am an ophthalmolgy resident. I find in this book a lot of important tips that we cannot find in any book.
Questions :
1- could the author develop more the chapters “in his special way” for specialist?
2- could he add more chapters concerning treatment?
Thank you

Hello, thank you very much for this hard interesting work.
Could you please make a short movie demonstrating the Keratometery measurement’s ( (keratometric power of the cornea, net refractive power of the cornea, and anterior radius of the cornea). It is a very complicated part of measurement for most students. Please Please make it on a manual keratometer if possible.
Thank you .
