Some Popular Ophthalmology Books
AAO Basic and Clinical Science Course eBook Collection (BCSC). Until they finally change it, the most recent volume is on page 4. This link occasionally fails off campus. Very frustrating. Try a different web browser. Persevere! Note: If you are on campus, resist the temptation to login from any of the AAO screens.
AAO Focal Points are available to AAO members here: https://www.aao.org/focalpoints Non-members can check out the Focal Points from the library.
Gass' Atlas of Macular Diseases (it may take a minute to load) To download the pdfs, register for a free Clinical Key account using your uiowa.edu email address. It's a bit of a nuisance, but worth it in the long run.
Walsh & Hoyt Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology
- Available via the NANOS Curriculum
- On the left hand side of the NANOS Curriculum page, one of the menu options is Walsh & Hoyt
MANY more books are listed on Hardin Library's "Ophthalmology Lib Guide"
