Excellent guide for taking care of diabetic eyes. by Michael J. Hodkin  5 Stars
August 30, 2009
Whether gleaning information from a lecture, article, text, or other source, I have found that two components are crucial (at least for me): the content and the delivery. Encyclopedic content without readability is soporific; readability without real content is just entertainment or, worse, a waste of time. Dr. Walker's book delivers the goods on both counts. As a practicing general ophthalmologist (with a cornea sub-specialty), I found this book exceedingly helpful. In fact, I feel this should book should be model for clinical "how to" texts. The author blends a humorous, satiric, and "down-to-earth" style with current and well-seasoned knowledge on diagnosing and treating diabetic retinopathy. It's more like talking to a very experienced and intelligent mentor over a beer at a national eye meeting. Advice is even offered on how to talk to patients in difficult situations--the stuff I had to learn the hard way. If you're in eye care, and take care of diabetic patients--even if you don't treat them surgically--run, don't walk, and get this book.
