BEST BOOKS FOR OPHTHALMOLOGY!

- In this video we'll go over the best books for ophthalmology, which are also some of the best books for optometry I think- if you really want to know the nitty gritty of eye disease. We'll cover all levels of ophthalmology books from beginner ophthalmology texts, to intermediate ophthalmology texts, to advanced ophthalmology texts, to the best ophthalmology reference texts, and even some of my favorite online ophthalmology resources. And I'll even throw in a good text on refraction for you nerds out there, lol.
When I started in ophthalmology residency I didn't know exactly which books to start with because there were so many out there. In this video I'll give you some of my favorite reference texts if you're a medical student doing an ophthalmology rotation, a new ophthalmology resident, or even if you're just trying to get the basics as a family medicine doctor or ER doctor. I'll also talk about some of the sub-specialty specific texts that I've found to be quite good. There's something in this video for people in all levels of training in eye care.
The links below are the books I talk about in this video that you can get on Amazon. These are affiliate links (full disclosure). But I recommend checking with your university's library first to see if they have these available as an online resource or even a hard text because some of them are expensive- so save your money if you can get them from online access or at the library :)
I hope you find this video helpful and guiding as you start your journey to learning about that little orb in the head! Best of luck and happy reading :)

Great video ... I'll get more Ophthobooks out there eventually! Sounds like you got it covered!
Well this is indeed an honor- love your work. Thank you!
My favorite book when i was a medical student

Zach, you’ve been killing it with the videos recently! Well done.
I love that you mentioned Tim Root and started with the easy, pocket-style books when we all start busy ophthalmology jobs. We all know that small, easy books are what we turn to first.
Can I add in: ‘Oxford Handbook of Ophthalmology’ (absolutely brilliant, and it covers clinical trials).
‘Case Reviews in Ophthalmology’ for those preparing to take exams.
TH-cam Channels: Ike Ahmed (he’s a rock star for glaucoma and cataract surgery), Ric Caesar (oculoplastics), Andrew Lee (amazing Neuro-Ophthalmologist).
By the way, LOL @ your refraction book.
With your new mic, are you planning ASMR soon too? 😂😂
Thanks! I like your recommendations. I follow Dr Andy Lee as well, he is indeed prolific and very good. I’ll check out some of your other recommendations as well. I had to google what ASMR lol. That seems like an excellent idea 😂
Dr. Lee for neuro Ophthalmology is great, true!!
Hi! Did anyone have a problem with their Wills ebook code not working/invalid?
I do
Good luck and good job ❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😅😅🎉🎉
Shields is a good one for glaucoma
Can anyone suggest ophthalmology book for undergraduate level ..
General Ophthalmology by Vaughan and Riordan-Eva 😊
I was wondering how opthalmology residents really study from textbooks like Kanski and memorize it cover to cover despite the small font used in Kanski and in any other textbook?
Won't reading such small font for prolonged periods cause eyestrain?
Really great info, thank you so much for sharing these valuable resources!
It would be great to see a video like this but for reflective or narrative styled Ophthalmology books. Like Oliver Sacks, just for the eyes!
This is an amazing video. I wish this was up when i was starting my residency. Would've saved me a lot of time 😁. But i did come across this really good comprehensive book "Postgraduate Ophthalmology" by Zia Chaudhuri.
Kanski is good for retina, uveitis etc, but really lacks in extraocular and orbit etc. Which has been well covered by Chaudhuri
Hey colleague cheers from overseas. Keep it up and modest not like those fucktard flexing GPs on TH-cam.
thank you so much for this! as i am coming to an end of my high school career, i’ve buckled down to going to school for ophthalmology! something i’ve been looking very forward to since i was in elementary school lol, very surprised that i’m still looking into it! your channel in general is very helpful to me and i would really like to thank you! i do have a question about what you need in order to successfully become an ophthalmologist? what do i major in? i haven’t quite figured it all out yet
That’s wonderful that you’re interested! If you’re going to college now I think you should just focus on enjoying the experience. The specific major is not critical as long as you do well in your core pre-med classes. No need to rush you’ve got at least 8 years before ophtho :) best of luck!
Hello such a great video thank you
Could you please suggest a book or any online link or anything that will help a ophthalmologist like how to approach to a patient with different Symptoms like red eye ,watering,photosensitivity,or raccoon eyes sweeping etc etc please
Like how to do the basic investigation and differential diagnosis n last treatment
So whos the bible wills or kenski in ur openion ? Im resident opth and i want ref for my exam what do u suggest please ?
If you have to pick one I would definitely get Wills.
Sir pls tell how should we complile all text books for final exam
Great video, thanks! I'm just about to graduate med school and want to go into ophthalmology. Most of these books are super pricey so I can't afford many..
I'm thinking about just buying Kanski to start with as I'm in the UK and it's quite popular here. I'll check out a few of them in the library first!
Congrats on finishing med school! Kanski is a good place to start- it’s a great book! Good luck on your ophtho journey.
What happens if the bibliography for my test to enter optho is from th bcsb? So is it better to study the basic ones that you mentioned before diving in to the bcsb?? Thank you so much 🙏🏻👁️
As an Ophthalmic Surgical assistant for over 20 years with experience in many specialties in eye surgery, I LOVE watching your videos!! I've always believed that in order to properly assist a physician in surgery, the technician should attempt to see what the surgeon sees and think ahead!! I live for the challenge of not having one of you speak to me during surgery unless its on a teaching level....your videos help me relate to what a surgeon may be thinking about as they look through their oculars and making those decisions that count!! Thank you, for posting such informative videos!!
Hi I’m glad you like the videos. And thanks for your work, we couldn’t do it without you guys
Love the videos, thanks Zach! I was wondering if you could please recommend any ophthal anatomy texts/online resources? Thanks!
eye wiki is my favorite online ophtho resource.
Can you give review on indian author ophthalmology books such as comprehensive ophthalmology by A K khurana?
Just want your opinion
My favorite TH-cam channel: Dr. Andrew Lee -Neurophthalmology, Dr. Deepak Megur- Cataract surgery
How many pages does your wills have? Because i found two available books on amazon one with 460 and one with 1000+ pages
Ms ophthalmology from india is valid in which countries?
Best book for basic clinical knowledge n procedures in ophthalmology for undergraduate students?????
For undergrads procedural books probably are a bit beyond what you need. I’d start with ophtho books at the undergrad level if you’re interested in learning about ophtho🙌🏼
What you do as an ophthalmology resident during this covid-19 crisis? What your work schedule look like?
Asia Green its like managing the red eye of covid people its annoying believe me
We’ve downbooked clinics and are only seeing emergencies and urgent follow ups. We rotate a week on and a week off in teams. In case one crew becomes infected.
Thank alot
Keep up the good videos
Do you have any neuroanatomy books you might recommend?
I personally read out PARSONS a text book of Opthalmology ' it was also very Good '
Us se zyada fazool kitaab nhi dekhi main me mbbs main bhai.
@@shahezaman9571 😂😂, yeh it's language is too tough, Hard to get it .
During the same time I also did, membership from Dr Mentors (Dr.Vaneet seghal.)for the same book.
Zach, thank you so much for putting this channel together! I was wondering if you could do future videos about best books/resources during medical school, especially related to step prep, that you found valuable?
Sure I'll add that to the video I"m working on compiling questions people have asked in the comment. It's been a while but I'm happy to talk about what I found helpful back in the day.
Thank you sir for helping us 😊
Thank you so much for all this information i was lost before I watch this video in ophthalmology books. Btw is there an update now with more books ? If there can you please mention them ty again.
Great information, thanks for sharing 👍
Hi, thank for sharing such a good thing ! AS a 1st year opthalmology resident I'm intresting is the BCSB is enough?
It’s certainly a good start for first year I think!
Hi, thanks for the info. Is there any high quality Qbank that you use to practice questions?
From which site i can get these books pdf.
Thank you so much , I have been looking for such topic for a long time ago 😍
Thank you again appreciated .
thank you bro .. i will check the basics
Very informative video. Thankx
Sir is there any book available for community ophthalmology? Please reply sir
i think if i was going to keep one or two books around in a community ophthalmology practice it would be the Duker Ophthalmology book and Wills. if you mean for the non-ophthalmologist i would just go with Wills.
Thanks so much! Best regards from a first year resident from Brazil!!
Of course. Good luck with residency!
Paediatrics?
Pls drink coffee nicely ! 🙂
Hello Zach!
I am an optometrist in Australia and I hope to see more great content from you in the future! All the best!
Do you have recommendations on the best question banks?
ophtho questions is okay. i’ve also recently started using the AAOs BCSC question bank. I think it has good explanations :)
How is Myron yanoff ophthalmology?
That’s actually the one I was referring to as Duker ophthalmology. They were co-authors. It’s an excellent textbook
A K Khurana
Thank you a lot, for this video, i was looking for informations like this, so helpful video, also i want to ask, what about ophthalmology anatomy books? What would you recommend?
I don't know of any specific to anatomy- I think the BCSC sections do a good job of the respective anatomy for each text. Quite honestly I like to google image what I'm curious about when it comes to anatomy :)
'Wolff's anatomy of the eye and orbit' is a very detailed anatomy book for ophthalmology. Even though it hasn't been updated in a long time, anatomy and all still remain the same mostly. You can find the pdf over telegram channels easily. But if you dont want to study in such depth, there is this 'anatomy and physiology of the eye' by AK khurana. So i used Wolff for detailed study and Khurana's for recap before exam. The text is more reproducible for exams in khurana and is pretty much similar to Wolff's. But you won't find pdfs of khurana. So i kinda scanned mine and converted to pdf. 😁
Love it
Great Work Man Keep Up ❤❤❤
Thanks 🔥
Thanks for the info. It's really helpful for me as I'm looking to start my ophthalmology residency in the upcoming weeks.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck!
hi how do you do , have you finished your residency ? if yes so may be you will share with textbooks you used throughout your education in residency
Thank You So Much Zach!
Of course!
Current Optometry student here, I recognize some of these titles! I know in 3rd year my school makes us purchase The Wills Eye Manuel and Yanoff/Duker Ophthalmology (along with other optometry specific books for contact lenses and binocular vision etc etc). :)
Thank you so much
you’re welcome! hope it helped
Amazing! Thank you
of course!
Thank you!
Of course
Thank you!
of course!
Current optometry student. Love this content :) what do you think about Retinal Atlas vs. Ryan's Retina?
Thanks for the support! They serve different purposes- the atlas is a visual diagnostic reference and Ryan's more of a text. I like them both!
I disagree on all books except Shields, rayan and wills. And for beginner there are many books
