    What can I say? It is an incrediable book which helps me a lot to preparing the application of Residency. Also, I would like to make some correction about cornea at Page 32. “Conea should be measured around 540µm instead of 540nm”. Same mistakes also in PIMP question no.8. And, would it be possible to let me translate the book content to Traditional Chinese to introduce this excellent book for the medical students who speak Chinese?

  10. You know this site is not only useful for med students but the people who are studying orthoptics

  11. This is one of the best resources I have read in 4 years of medical school. I highly recommend it for any student wanting to learn ophthalmology. A true benchmark in books for medical students!

  12. Probably being stupid and have just missed it, but is there a section on iritis, scleritis and episcleritis? Is it in the pipeline? Videos are BRILLIANT by the way!

  13. Very goodwords selection.thanks

  14. i love this site very muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wonderfull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could you possibly autograph one for me.

    Exellent book

    I am an ophthalmolgy resident. I find in this book a lot of important tips that we cannot find in any book.

    Questions :
    1- could the author develop more the chapters “in his special way” for specialist?
    2- could he add more chapters concerning treatment?

    Thank you

  45. great book
    help me in my residence

  46. Hello, thank you very much for this hard interesting work.
    Could you please make a short movie demonstrating the Keratometery measurement’s ( (keratometric power of the cornea, net refractive power of the cornea, and anterior radius of the cornea). It is a very complicated part of measurement for most students. Please Please make it on a manual keratometer if possible.
    Thank you .

    Hey Dr. Root

    Great job with your website.
    I am a medical student that is interested in ophthalmology and i really like how you present the material.

    If possible, I would suggest you to make videos on how to use the slit lamp, indirect w/ 90 and indirect w/ 15 if possible.

    If you can illustrate the principles, I think all students will find it invaluable.

    Thank you!

    Hey. I found your videos through YouTube.com, and followed the link here. I’d like to thank you for creating such a clear, accessible tomb of ocular information. From the cartoons to the narration to the live-video of cataract-surgery, it’s just great work.

    *Suggestion: Make a fews vids. about which tools are available, which you prefer, etc.

  91. Very attractive , informative and best of all makes everything seem easy 🙂 … thank you so much for making life easier 🙂

  92. Love this website!! its awesome!!

  93. isolde . adaza says:

    amazing! so friendly in explaining the topic. its easy to understand with the way it is presented. thanx for this site.

  94. Question: in Chapter 3, Pimp question 13, How does VEGF from retinal ischemia, presumably originating in the vitreous chamber, manage to get to the anterior chamber to cause neovascularization of the iris?

    And, does the trabecular meshwork encircle the entire circumference, 360 degrees, of the irido-corneal angle?

    GREAT BOOK !!! My brain aches with new knowledge. Thanks.

  95. arjun reddy says:

    the retinoscopy video is just amazing. thanks a lot

  96. Medstudent says:

    Read this for my opthalmology rotation – it’s great.

    Just wondering if you could do a simple chapter on common presenting complaints and their differentials, sort of like a problem based approach.

    i.e. the differentials for red eye and how you can distinguish them with clinical history/exam and investigations.

    Thanks.

  97. I’ll have to order this book. Should have done so before upcoming cataract surgery, but with Dr. Root, I’m not concerned.

    I am a retired engineer who asks a lot of questions and he can clearly explain things to me that most people don’t even ask about. He is one of those rare people with a wide range of talents that also can put things into understandable terms for non-opthalmology knowledgeable patients – as well as for medical students.

    I am a patient of Dr. Root, and I love Dr. Root!

    [I had to counter that previous comment about hating him, which I am SURE was made in jest by a friend – once you meet him and talk awhile, you have to love the guy!]

  98. Dr. P Ubed says:

    Dear Dr. Root,

    You seem to be very well rooted to ophthalmology basics because only a person whose fundamentals are clear can present a complex matter in such a beautiful way(cartoons included!).

    very helpful information !

  159. jayati dureja says:

    i came across the videos on youtube and they’re absolutely fantastic!
    you’re doing a great job at making ophthal easy for an undergraduate 🙂

  160. i love this site, very informative!….more power to you 🙂

  161. this question has come up twice in recent months when ordering contact lenses…ie OD -1.00-0.75×060
    OS -1.25-100×0130
    order two boxes OU….for the above prescription

    One of the doctors told us this is incorrect, that OU only referred to the prescription being the same in each eye, not that we were to order 2 boxes for each eye…I don’t have a problem with being compliant with a drs. request but it sure has stirred up a hornets nest at work, to the point the GM (unlicensed) will have a talk with the doctors that we didn’t work for them and they don’t need to tell us what to do….so I’ve been looking in my dispensing books and have found OU as “both eyes” but I have not substanciated clearly if it refers only as OU same prescription eyes or is it more broadly used i.e., 2 boxes OU meaning I want 2 boxes for each eye no matter what the prescription…does a GM really have that much authority to tell the doctors the tecnical part of their job. Also today we were told we can dispense contact lens boxes before the patient is finished with their final progress check and that is was ok cuz we work under doctors license of the owner of the chain from KT….uhm…real questions here….I called state board got a busy signal all day. Reviewed my TN Rules…0490-01.-10 p.11 and 0490-01-.22 p.40 paragraph 1 states “a dispensing optician may not fit contact lenses except in the presence of and under the direct supervision of a licensed optometrist or ophthalmologist” direct doesn’t sound like a doctor licensed living and working in another state to me…also paragraphs a and b state “upong delivery of a written prescription by an opthalmologist or otometrist, the licensed dispensing optician will deliver the contact lenses to the patient

  166. Thanks dr.root for amazing work

  167. You have a very nice site! Very informative and well written. Keep up the great work.

  168. Thank you so much for an amazing website! An absolute lifesaver for my exam 😉

  169. i love thissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss websiteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  170. great video lectures
    Thank you so much for an amazing website

  171. from this site i have learnt to appreciate things about the eye that i never thought i could understand.its a great work you are doing over there.please keep it up. thanks so much Dr Tim and his ophthobuk group.

    Richy.
    Student optometrist (knust-Ghana)

  172. these videos are simply awesome, specially for we undergraduates. but it would have been more better if u discuss neuro ophthalmology in somewhat more details, specially the visual field concepts

  173. I’m a Teacher of the Visually Impaired and this is a GREAT resource – thank you! I plan to share the link with many parents and colleagues!

  174. Fantastic resource! Thank you!

  175. I love this site. I am rotating through ophtho for 2 wks and would be lost without this. Tim Root makes it all so simple.

    Thank you so much!

  176. Hi,

    I am a 5th year medical student from Jordan. Your site was suggested to me by a friend of mine who got a very good marks in the Ophthalmolgy rotation. Because of how excited and how impressed my friend was, I opened your website as soon as I got home. “I watched them not only because of how informative they are, but also, because how funny the doctor is” My friend told me.

    Only after watching one of your videos, I am here writing this comment. I do not need to watch more videos to judge the quality of these videos… They are absolutely amazing!!! I did not know that ophthalmology is that interesting and easy to understand.

    Finally, one small suggestion: I suggest that you create a youtube channel. If you had a youtube channel, I believe that you could now have thousands of subscribers. I would be honored to subscribe in your channel.

    Thank you.

  177. you really know how to teach. i have never seen anyone teach like you do

  178. I would like to add my name to the throngs of happy users with a few additional comments. I am a 4th year medical student at USC in California. We are privileged to have the Doheny Eye institute and receive instruction from world renowned physicians during our medical school lectures and Ophthalmology rotation. In preparation for my rotation, I began reading and watching video’s from this site. Once on the wards, I was delighted to find that our attending physicians were actually referring us to Ophthobook.com as an ideal source for after hours studying and exam preparation. I have been comparing notes with our official didactics, other textbooks, and this resource and can say that the information here is entirely consistent if not superior to the most authoritative texts and lecturers I have encountered.

    I must also make comment on the fact that Dr. Root has made superb use of mixed media. These are not merely powerpoints with embeded video’s. Animations, text, videos and intelligent summarization make this a model modern teaching style.

    Thank you so much for this incredible and free! resource.

  179. Thanks so much for this informative website, especially the videos- concise, funny, memorable, easy to understand. Couldn’t ask for a more perfect intro for med students. Only wish the specialty I’m going into had a resource this cool!

  180. dr pramod says:

    great job sir!!!!!!thanks.

  181. ArwA Beltagi says:

    I adore your work uptil now..hope u can add more help by publishing eay learning books for post graduate opthalmic studies..

    Thanks. From Egypt

  182. respected sir
    i don’t know where to ask a question so i am writing it in your comment box…
    may u please tell me why can’t i use a retinoscope to do ophthalmoscopy and vice versa

    i have tried many online and offline resources but could not understand… please e-mail me if u see this and like to reply… thank you sir

  183. Your videos were very helpful.The best I have seen.Can’t wait to get the book.
    Thank you so much.

  184. i am diabetic, 38yrs, eye burn during welding flash suggest the eye drops

  185. In my culture, when you visit and you are given something to eat, you thank your host for the tasty item before you actually taste it…because you know they laboured and put in their all to make the meal…
    So, i thank the Dr. whose efforts we are all privileged to enjoy and help us learn!
    By the way, i have an insatiable desire to study ophthalmology, so i am certain this book will provide me with the wisdom i need!
    Thank you so much!!!

  186. Einav Madmony says:

    I simply LOVE it!!!!

  187. Amazing!!!! I wish my teachers could teach like that…….

  191. I’m feeling grateful, thank u
    Keep it up…..

  192. Dr. Bernardo Hochman says:

    Your material is incredible. What a pity you tried your hand only on ophthalmology. I’m recommending this site also as a course on didactics. Perhaps something of your art will get attached to a lot of (so called) medical teachers…

  193. João Paulo (Brazil) says:

    You have no idea how precious has been this material for me (just started first year residency). You should be doing this thing professionally! Thanks a lot!!!

  194. Thanks for this book! I’m studying Tecnología Médica in Chile, and all information publicated in this page has been useful for me!! Muchas gracias!

  195. hi i’m from the philippines, ur book is incredible,it is easy to understand and very helpful. truly it is the best intro to optha book ever. maraming salamat! 🙂

  196. What is it that people that have 20/10 have that people with 20/20 don’t have? It is the cornea, the lens, or the retina?

  197. I just want to say THANK YOU Doctor Timothy Root

    (( you have taught me and you have influenced me ))

    I ask Allah to guide you to make the right choices in every step of your life

  198. Hello Tim,

    I must confess that you are God sent! You are simply amazing and an expert in basic education.

    Pls kindly post video of how to effectively use the BINOCULAR INDIRECT OPHTHALMOSCOPE. This technique is confusing to me.

    Pls TIM help kindly as I enjoyed the tips on SLIM LAMP BIOMICROSCOPY!

    Thanks in advance sir!

  199. Thank you so much for having your lectures on YouTube and reading materials online. Access to both, has helped me educationally & assisted me to understand my new job as a scribe at a Pediatric Ophthalmologist office. I know that Ophthobook.com is utilized for medical students, but just wanted you to know it has helped me keep my job. Also, I have ordered your book on Amazon.com to keep @ work.

  200. Thank you do much!! I’m a second year medical student and this was an absolutely vital learning tool for me. It’s clear, straigtforward, and gets right to the high yield points of opthomology. I would not have been able to get through my course without this book.

  201. Hey Dr. Root,
    Just to let you know the Neuro-Ophthalmology video part 1 cuts off at 8min 50seconds….I was hoping to watch the whole 24 minutes since it is so high-yield!

    Thanks
    Ryan

  202. Hi Dr.Root,
    I’m presenting about Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) and I wanted to construct a simple model showing how the surgery goes and the “air bubble technique” but I just can’t think about the appropriate tools that can simulate the layers of the cornea and the injection of air. Can you help me, please? ’cause I know you’ve got a spectacular, super creative magnificent mind 😀

  203. Hello dr.root!

    i loved this site and i just shared it with all students of my class ! getting good feedback ! thankssssssss much !

    Have a nice day 🙂

  204. Hey dr. Root!

    Greetings from Spain

  207. Excellent work, please keep doing so … This is like a complete go to book for students like us.

  208. FINALLY! A site that helps! I’m changing careers (from RN to Optom. Tech) and the abbreviations are so helpful. I am the only tech for 3 doctors and I was having to learn on my own. I know Nursing but Optometry is something totally and this site is what I needed! Good Job!!!

  209. Sería genial si los vídeos estuvieran en español.

  210. i wish you have some lectures with CE credits simply because i’d rather do my 20hrs CE listening to your lectures than to anyone else.

  211. dr dk verma says:

    very nice place to learn, excellent

  212. we need more video optometry related

  213. somebody who read this book, plz tell me that is it appropriate book for MBBS student

  214. Christine says:

    Very informative, clear and amusing. I hope to teach medicine someday with the same technique that you use — clear diagrams through own animations, concise, interesting and makes learning very fun. 🙂 An inspiration indeed.

  215. How about some contact lens examination videos.. I am waiting for it for such a long time!!!

  216. anything on Keratometry? especially manually i find that to be most difficult. thanks and great videos and lectures truly helps out!

    You are the best friend of the first year ophthalmology resident, and sure for the the other years, thanks from my heart’s depths .

  231. The patient has retinal detachment 6 years now on both eyes. She did the laser surgery on the left eye when same was much younger. The eye vision is great after doing routine check ups by the eye surgeon. Now the patient has a very big problem on the right eye, “same is seeing half vision and half dark”. When she went to the surgeon today for check ups, same advice her that the retinal detachment is huge and surgery can be perform, but chances are the vision will be the “same half vision and half dark” on the right eye. So she couldn’t afford the surgery on time. Can you please advice me properly Sir/Miss! If she have this surgery in 2 or 3 months from now, can this still help her eye from getting that lost of vision for life.

  232. Wow!!!
    keep up the good work

  233. I can’t thank you enough for this amazing site,, everything here is very useful and made simple.
    I’m truly in love with this website! the BEST EVER! thumbs up 😉

  234. This website is an invaluable tool in learning opthalmology. A subject which had previously appeared baffling now makes sense! Thanks

  235. overall good website, thanks!

  236. Thanks for this wonderful website. I wish you had taught ophtho when I was a medical student.

  237. thank u for your great effort

  241. S.Sahin, MD says:

    Very useful to start Ophthalmology. Thanks for your contributions to Opht. training.

  242. I hope someone could helpe me . I’m a opthamoligest I graduate from ukrain and I came to the USA. Memphis ,TN so I could worke her as opthamoligest but I don’t know wher to start from and who to ask about what I need to study or what kind of examination I need to do . And every university I ask here they don’t now because their not spacilized in opthamolig that’s My email
    Nadimaker@yahoo.com

    Editor: Masoud … you are what we would call an FMG (foreign medical graduate) or IMG (international medical graduate). The process of matching in ophthalmology is much more difficult in these situations. You typically have to pass the USMLE tests to obtain your medical degree in the US. You’ll have to go through an entire 4 year ophthalmology residency training program in the USA to practice in the USA. You’ll apply for ophthalmology positions with the “match process” along with other USA candidates. The match rate (even with your experience) for IMG applicants is not very high (around 6%) but it can be done … but you may have to put in some time doing research to become a better candidate. The first step, I believe, is to pass (and do really well) on your USMLE tests. You may want to contact your closest medical school and enquire about that process … or continue searching this route online.

  243. it made me a lot easyyyyy

  244. This is very wonderful website,so informative.kudos

  245. mryamalmulla says:

    I like things that make our lives easier and this book is definitely one of them, ophthalmology can not be more easier. Thanx Tim

  247. In your video “Super Eye Palsies”, you misspoke at 3:19 saying “lateral” rather than “medial”.

    Tim Root: Yes, I noticed the typo before I uploaded the lecture. Unfortunately, with live video lectures there is no good way to “correct” these verbal typos without re-filming the whole project. Instead, at that point in the video I placed a small pop-up text comment that points out the error. You may not have seen this. Thanks for commenting!

  248. 非常有趣的视频和网站。可惜非母语听起来比较吃力啊。

  249. I love this book, I have the printed copy and keep it in bag to read to from university. Only problem- the book I received smells like french fries LOL

    Hi Dr. Root! What you did, especially with the videos is amazing! I wanna thank you for making the videos because it really helps in my reviews for the board exams. Me and my classmates benefit from your vids so much.

    Dr.Eyad Shareef

  265. Tahir Nasser says:

    Dear Dr. Root

    Am a medical student from London (university College London) and your book (which I have bought) is a fantastic resource. You have simplified and actually TAUGHT ophthalmology – unlike so many doctors who do not actually EXPLAIN.

    So for that I would like to thank you

    Secondly, I am looking for a resource to explain retinal artery and retinal vein occlusion as I believe that there isn’t such a chapter on these topics. Would be very grateful if these topics could also be covered – but I’m also sure you have your reasons for not including them.

    Best
    tahir

  266. Thanks a lot! Awesome explanation and has everything anyone ever needs to understand Ophthalmology! Just got what I needed.
    Medical Student, Nepal

  267. it’s very interesting! I learned this book from a BBS. I wish more and more ophthalmologist would find it and love it in our country.

  268. dear doctor,

    i am a fan of your book.
    i want it to be my textbook.
    i want you to publish this book, i swear its going to help a lot of medical students. your way of teaching is simple but awesome. you speak and write in friendly way. not like other books and videos , watching which i feel like reading a newspaper, way too boring . i hope i’ll find a book called opthobook in market sooon, or may be you have published one . if you have , please let us know.i want it .
    from India

  269. love it. just on time….u re awesome. we need more masters like u to guide us for all other specialties..

  271. ROXy wall says:

    LOVE YOUR WEBSITE THANKS!!!!!

  272. excellent submit, very informative. I’m wondering why the other specialists of this sector don’t notice this. You should proceed your writing. I am confident, you have a huge readers’ base already!

  273. lori saad says:

    Is it ok to wear a patch. Is it detrimental to curing this nerve. I cannot imagine functioning without the patch.

    Strangest thing I’ve ever had. no one seems to have a grasp of any part of this. I really want to know is wearing a patch is ok. I’m sure there will be more questions later. Thanks to you all, and I cannot imagine some of you dealing with this for 3 years!!! Bless you.

  274. You make it look so easy. Kudos!

  275. Dr. Root, you’re awesome! It’s so interesting, funny and super useful to learn ophthalmology with you! Thank you very much! I wanna shake your hand. You do a GREAT job! Wish you good luck!

  276. Tina Phillips says:

    I am a COT with over 20 years experience in ophthalmology and I use ophthobook.com all the time. Every learning tool I have ever used has been VERY well written in easy to understand terminology.

    Thank you Dr.Root, you are a great teacher!

  284. Hi Dr. Root, I absolutely love your material. I just bought both of your books and they are awesome! I am beginning my Orthoptics training soon and your videos and podcasts have been a huge help. I did want to ask you what “spots on the retina” might mean. Are they common? What are some leading causes? Thanks!

  285. irfanullah guhar says:

    I am a 3rd year medical student currently on a 12 week surgical rotation. I will be starting 1 week of ophtho elective week.

  289. I am a fourth year medical student preping for my ophthalmology rotation. This website has been a HUGE help, it has already helped me not make a fool out of myself several times in clinic. Thank you so much for making it free to access it is an invaluable resource!

  290. Oh my GOD it is very intersting book___keep it up

  291. You make it all seem so easy, am an Optometrist practising in Zimbabwe and just love using your lectures for CPD, it’s always much easier when a lecturer loves what they do and you clearly do-may you never tire and keep up the good work!

  292. Medical student says:

    I am a current second year medical student- I struggled with the innervation of the eye during anatomy and basically memorized it to get me through the test. After reading your section on neurology I finally understand the basis of nerve lesions we have been studying. Thank you for making this resource available to us.

  293. Hi,
    I’m a medical student from India … U know what,this book,lectures are simply awesome…appreciate all hard work..
    Thanks a lot for these.. 🙂

  294. THANK YOU soooo much!!!

    Dr. Timothy Root,

    I encourage you to keep up the good work in promoting Optometry. Upcoming Optometrist like are benefitting much from your site.

  298. We are promoting this resource to our medical students and medical staff. I think Timothy Root’s slit lamp examination video is one of the best and most engaging educational online videos that you will ever see.
    I couldn’t stop watching, and given we are all busy, this sets the benchmark.
    Well done, we admire you all the way from Australia

  299. i totally loved the book and the videos….. thankuu.. for making my life easier.. it would be great if u had such books for all other medical courses 🙂

  300. Rafael Villaverde says:

    Sir,
    You are really blessed with such an excellent skill of teaching and we are very lucky to view your classes and learn ophthalmology which are very most illustrative, explanatory and conceptual.

    Hats off for the care you take in preparing your slides, the patience you have in uploading all this stuff and your kind gesture in making all these classes available for free to all students across the globe

  302. Dr. Timothy Root,
    How are you. Your video is very lively and interesting, let me easily understand the slit lamp examination 。
    we admire you all the way from China

  303. Amazing videos! Such a fun way to learn!! It literally brightens up my dull and duller revision day. Thank you very much!

    Cheeky request…any chance a podcast/lecture on nystagmus? 🙂

  304. You’re amazing! All of my classmates and I love this website and think the world of you. Thank you for being so interactive and a great professor, as some people aren’t as blessed with teaching skills as you are:p
    I’ve learned more from your website than I have from actual teachers that I’ve paid tuition for…ridiculous.

    Lots of love from Canada!!

    Dr. Root,

    thank you for writing your book, it was both informative and entertaining. The easy-to-read nature of the opthobook allowed me to finish it quickly and just in time for my upcoming optho-rotation exams. You are a great inspiration!

  306. I’m a Chinese medical student, I fell in love with Dr.Root’s sense of humor first time I watch his videos. Dr. Root has made those uninteresting, Merriam-Websters’s-dictionary-like text books into a more palatable way. It’s very conducive. Thank you Dr.Root I love you!!

  307. Till this remains free..God bless!

  326. To Dr. Root,

    Words cannot begin to capture the immense gratitude I feel for your dedication and continued contributions towards medical education. I am currently a 4th year medical student applying for a residency position in ophthalmology and I owe so much to you and the fruits of your tireless labor. Your focused, easily digestible and often silly approach to learning is a welcomed breath of fresh air to the mundane rigors of traditional medical training. You were a HUGE part in me choosing ophthalmology and I hope to carry on my learnings to my patients and other aspiring students and health professionals in the future.

    I just purchased the first volume of ophthobook questions, the most recent edition to your vast collection and again I was blown away. Education and teaching is something I hold close to my heart. Having served as a tutor/mentor at several levels, from high school students to fellow medical students, I realize the importance of medical education and feel a sincere drive to contribute and teach. I read your call for help to contribute to the expanding collection of books/resources at the end of the publication and I would like to say that I would be honored to help out in whatever capacity.

    Thanks again for all your continued noble work, it is sincerely and forever appreciated.

    Dan

  327. I salute ur write ups & video displays.

    Dear Dr. Root,

    I have enjoyed your videos very much, but it seems there are no videos related to basics of oncology nor a chapter in the book.

    I feel it’s an important part, and you could help greatly.

    Best regards!
