I was afraid of eyes until I saw them in all their glory thanks to your book. In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is King! Looking forward to more videos…

Many thanks, a quick viewing of your videos and I was able to make useful assessments of patients and fend off the standard grilling on my ophthal rotation. Received a bunch of compliments and was repeatedly mistaken for a resident – if they only knew!
