by Tien Yin Wong, Wesley Guang Wei Chong, Zhu Li Yap & Saadia Farooqui (Singapore National Eye Centre, Singapore)
edited by Gordon J Johnson (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, UK), Darwin C Minassian (University College London, UK), Robert A Weale (King’s College London, UK) & Sheila K West (The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA)
Review of the First Edition: “Unique in its format, this review is both intentionally didactic and repetitive and focuses on most commonly addressed examination subjects ... Each topic is introduced in question format and the key learning points then summarized succinctly. This style of presentation is unique and particularly useful to those preparing for oral examinations, as it clearly breaks down general questions for easy and organized responses. Additionally, the margins contain several examination tips, which may be useful in studying for written and particularly oral examinations ... Overall, the format and organization of this review book sets it apart from others. Despite potential differences between the American and British training and examinations, this review may be useful as an adjunctive study guide in preparation for the American boards or the OKAP.” American Journal of Ophthalmology In the new edition, topics such as new understanding of disease mechanisms, new investigations (e.g. OCT), and new procedures and treatment (e.g. use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors, new refractive surgical techniques, new corneal transplant) are covered. 550pp Apr 2019 978-981-3221-00-0(pbk) US$68 £56 978-981-3220-99-7 US$128 £106

Questions and Answers in Neuro-ophthalmology A Case-Based Approach by Andrew G Lee (Houston Methodist Hospital, USA & University of Texas, USA), Nagham Al Zubidi (Houston Methodist Hospital, USA), Arielle Spitze (Houston Methodist Hospital, USA), Sushma Yalamanchili (Houston Methodist Hospital, USA & Weill Cornell Medical College, USA) The book presents the most common problems seen in neuroophthalmology in a case-based learning format that provides rapid access and is easy to read. The user friendly format guides and stimulates the reader to identify the distinctive symptoms in the main complaint and history; to define the differentiating signs on neuroophthalmic exam; and to describe the key laboratory or neuroimaging in specific entities. It also challenges the reader to ask additional questions of themselves and others by providing an initial set of questions and answers on specific neuro-ophthalmologic topics. The questions chosen are meant to simulate “real world” questions in the clinic; the answers given serve to provide both the rationale for the correct answer and the explanations or reasons for the incorrect but plausible answers that might distract or mislead a clinician in specific neuro-ophthalmic cases. 280pp 978-981-4578-77-6(pbk) 978-981-4578-76-9
