"This well-organized book is an efficient reference on ocular tumors for general ophthalmologists. This is a welcome addition to any general ophthalmologist's resources given the difficulty, the high level of care and attention required, and consequences at stake in taking care of a patient with such diagnoses. In this very well-organized and visually focused book, and the authors have done a great job of accumulating and presenting information pertinent for general ophthalmologists. This book successfully targets its intended audience of general ophthalmologists, with a broad but efficient scope of information. The authors strive for consistency between chapters, which makes the book easy to read. A tremendous number of high quality color photographs provide additional information. Given its organization, photographs and information, Essentials of Ophthalmic Oncology is a welcome resource."
