About this OphthoBook
This site is dedicated to making ophthalmology as fun and engaging as possible!
Who are we?
 Well, actually, this book, website, and all illustrations were created by myself. My name is Tim Root, and I’m an ophthalmologist with a background in graphic design and cartooning.
How can you contact us?
I can be contacted at the following address.
In addition, I have just joined a practice in Daytona Beach called “Tomoka Eye Associates.” Our website is here:
TomokaEye.com
Why not sell the book through a traditional publisher?
Perhaps someday I will. The problem with medical books like this one, is that the potential readership is quite small, and success depends largely upon how well your publisher markets for you. I already have background marketing online teaching programs, so for now would rather place the book online to reach as many people as I can.
Why online video lectures?
I suspect that most profesional students (i.e. medical students) learn material best when they glean information from different sources. The video lectures allow instant delivery of audio-visual facts that directly compliment the book. Hopefully, the lectures will help this material “sink in.”
Why so many jokes?
You will find this book chock-full of nutty cartoons, quotes, and jokes. This irreverent approach is not meant to downplay eye diseases, disparage the field of ophthalmology, or to disrespect our patients. Rather, this teaching approach is meant to maintain your interest and help you learn these topics as quickly as possible. Medical schools provide little or no ophthalmologic training in their core curriculum, making this material difficult to learn. These “jokes” may help you understand an ophthalmic condition and thus enable you to help your patients. Other medical series like the “Ridiculously Simple” books follow a similar approach and I’ve found this style helpful in my own studies.
Limited Scope
This website covers basic topics and is definitely not “all inclusive.” Unless you’re “really into eyeballs” this material can be rather dry, so I’ve attempted to keep the chapters short, high-yield, and moderately entertaining. Obviously, I’ve left out large chunks of ophthalmology. You should consult larger books for these topics if you’re interested in continuing in the field.

Tim,
What an extraordinarily benevolent person you must be. This is an incredible work. I just finished watching the “Anatomy of the Eye” video, and I’m sure that I’ll watch all of them as I find time.
I had an Inferior Turbinate Reduction procedure done on me about 15 days ago. During the days immediately following it, I was frequently getting puffs of air coming from the punctum area of my right eye when I blew my nose. I was very worried that the Dr. had punctured something, and I was in serious trouble.
After reading your answer about how and where the nasolacrimal duct drains, and watching the “Anatomy of the Eye” video, my mind is at ease. I was really, really worried.
Thank you for your excellent work.

Great job Tim. I will be recommending your site to all my students. Billing and coding personnel need to learn the clinical side as well and your information is short, concise and to the point. A great introduction to the topic.
Like the cartoons.

I am a med student from Romania and I have my ophthalmo exam this friday. My teacher’s book is really boring and your videos made me really want to read it, although is truly madly deeply realy boring. I belive you like your job and that makes me think really beautiful things about you as a professional. I would like my teachers to be more like you, I mean I wish teachers to be teachers not only readers, writers and doctors. I think you will become a really good teacher.
Congratulations!

Dr. Root,
Just wanted to say a quick thanks for offering this free and informative website to all of us interested in ophthalmology. As a med student, visiting this site from time to time allows me to keep a general understanding of ophthalmology fresh in my mind, and your approach to explaining the material is one of a kind. I look forward to future works.

You should be a millionare! You’r incredible! I have been in the field since 1993 and I have pretty much taught myself. I have never come across such wonderful teaching material as this. I love to laugh and reading your work as kept me entertained as well as taught me a few things I haven’t yet learned. You have renewed my spirit for this field.
Kuddos to you for being a wonderful-funny-smart Doctor. Not like the others with no sense of humor. I have spent hundreds of dollars over the years on books. Hundreds….and this was FREE!! This is all I ever needed. Shucks, the newbies out there really have it made!!
Thanks again for being such and awesome MD!!
Start charging……

I wish there were similar resources available for all my rotations. Thanks again,

Thanks so much for this easy to understand format. As an outpatient coder for a hospital I found this very helpful in explaining the anatomy and disease of the eye. It was exactly what I needed to fully comprehend what was happening to the patient so that I can understand how the physician was treating them to correctly code each case. Thanks so much…you may have more of a market out there then you thought! Coding education regarding the eye and its diseases and procedures isn’t easy to find! Anytime you want to travel to Illinois to educate coders I have plenty of willing participants! Thanks again!

Dr. Root,
This website is brilliant. I am doing a senior student elective in ophtho and it is my primary resource. I find it especially useful because I am not entering ophtho as a specialty, but I want to be able to communicate with them clearly when I consult from the ED. I’ve never found the subject matter so relatable before. Thank you.

as obviously many others before I am impressed by your work and unbelievably lucky to have found it 1 week before my final ophtha oral exams for the swiss “staatsexamen”.

So thank you very very much!

Dear Tim, this is indeed a great thing you did. Wish the other specialties would do the same. I love the way you present it that even non-doctors would be able to understand them. And the pictures and videos showing actual cases, very informative and really get to appreciate the field and the study. Congratulations on a job well done and indeed you have done good to A LOT of people both doctors and non-doctors. Thanks a whole lot and again, congratulations!!!!

I know everyone out here shares my experience that you are a gifted teacher. Thank you for your selflessness in sharing this with the community.

Dr. Tim,
great piece of work!Very well conceived .May I make a few corrections- the superior rectus is an adductor - brings the eye towards the nose .And so is the inferior rectus.The obliques are abductors -the superior oblique is actually called the “cheating muscle”!.It takes the eye down and out.BUT testing of the superior and inferior rectus is done in the out position , because in this position the obliques can’t elevate or depress the eye.
Also in your example of the patient with diplopia and hearing loss ,you mentioned 7th nerve involvement-shouldn’t be 8th nerve?

LOVE this! Would love to have you lecture at one my meetings-either at our annual meeting, which is held in conjunction with the AAO’s annual meeting, or at one of my 16 regional meetings this year-I have one in Orlando, June 22 & 23, in conjunction with the FSO meeting! Please contact me!! Thanks.

Hi Tim,
I am a neurologist in the UK and have been using your website for the last few years. It is nothing short of brilliant - no neurology textbook comes close to it….and I’ve been a doctor for a decade so I’ve read a few! The cartoons and videos are simply genius - I recommend your lectures to all my students and every time I pick an extraocular palsy I have you to thank!

Hi Tim, just wanted to thank you for your amazing work. I’m a med student (just about to become a full MD)from Argentina and your videos made me understand and love ophthalmology. No textbook is as good as your lectures.
Congrats for your work and its success, you really deserve it!
Best wishes
BM

hello tim,
i am preparing for my masters in opthalmology and i happened to see your online book and lectures . i read through the entire lectures in couple of hours and i realised that may be if your objective was to introduce ophthalmology making the subject easy and interesting you not only succeeded in your attempt but you have done a great job. Congratulations

See that long list of countries that have thankful medical students you just saved from failing? Add Sudan to that list. Thank you for this website, thank you for the videos… and I’ll buy your book when I can. Thank you again, you’re awesome (and cute!).
