A very good book for UG's and for PG preparation. Key features are: 1. Simplified language 2. All important points covered 3. More important points bold 4. Important differentials in boxes 5. Simplified flow charts A must book for Undergraduates to read.

I have gone through the book. I found it very informative and helpful for the CBME purpose.

A very conceptual book indeed. Highly recommended!

I have gone through the book. This is very important book for UG's and for PG students.

It's really a very good textbook and it's different from previous textbooks. The most important is that it is Competency based. It has included various competencies like Principles of retroactive surgeries, demonstration of Bell's phenomenon, anatomical basis of Horner's syndrome. In addition coverage of various topics like various phaco techniques, ARMD in detail, ocular therapeutics in detail It is definitely a textbook which I will recommend to my MBBS and Post Graduate students

It's definitely good for undergraduate MBBS students. It would have been better if a section on ophthalmic instruments & optics was added. We will surely recommend this book to our students.

THIS WILL BE VERY FRIENDLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE STUDENTS, RESIDENTS AND OPHTHALMIC PRACTITIONERS.

I read the book and I didn't find a single negative thing. The book is simply awesome, images are top notch The blue boxes are really helpful and all surgeries combined and given at the end really helps.

I read this book and am really impressed by the way it has been compiled. The information is simplified, very well organized into different systems and topics, the topics being divided point wise which makes it easy and interesting to read. Moreover it could definitely be used as one's primary book for ophthalmology. The pages are of excellent quality, which compels the reader to read more and more from it. Diagrams and pictures attract the readers. I personally found the font type and size to be suitable to read. There's not cutting of content as such. It's a complete textbook, great for acquiring information as well preparing for university exams. I highly recommend this book.

This book by Sanjeev Kumar Mittal and Raj Kumar Agarwal is really good. It's easy to understand and everything is covered in detail too. The flowcharts given are easy to memorise and the tables are also helpful. Most of the topics which I could not find in other books are present in this book.

The first thought that came to mind as I held this book was that I wish I had such a book during my undergraduate and postgraduate days. Even for a practicing consultant, this book will serve as a ready refresher. This book is poised to become a boon to teachers in Medical Colleges all over India, who are either juggling with incorporating the new CBME curriculum in their set-ups and even those actively involved with Medical Education Technology – because this book has a built-in CBME style competency checklist-cum- indexing besides having chapter-wise references to the competencies. There is a special CBME mapping which is not just creative but also extremely useful. The schematic diagrams are a special feature of this book. Colors have been used very effectively in imparting the understanding of schemes and progression. The diagrams are visually appealing and easy to understand. Even the examples used are very relevant and interesting. One can see the tremendous amount of effort that has been put into bringing out this painstakingly crafted masterpiece in the form of a highly organized textbook of Ophthalmology. Reading it feels like imbibing the understanding and knowledge distilled after reading five books without actually having to hold or buy five books. The anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and Optics chapters are exceptional. They provide great conceptual and higher order learning. The chapter on Optics even helps with the effortless recapitulation of Physics’ principles. It is not just an invaluable textbook but also a very useful book to have at hand in the clinic. I am definitely going to keep copies of this book in my Departmental Library not just for easy reference but also for students to make an informed decision about obtaining their individual copies. I would not hesitate in recommending it highly among my undergraduate students as a textbook, as well as to my postgraduate students, as a ready reckoner and revision guide. This book fills in a void in the current CBME era of Medical education and needs to be welcomed into the Ophthalmic community with open arms.

This book is an underrated gem. And definitely better than Khurana. Pros: it's very easy to read and understand and replicate as answers along with diagrams in exams. As always there are ample charts, tables, and diagrams given. It is CBME compliant and all competency tables have been covered. Cons: I felt that the last few chapters of Khurana which were practically oriented like instruments and darkroom procedures etc...helped a lot for vivas, while in this book it is slightly inadequate. This is the book to purchase. Especially for clarifying your bases and writing answers. I know a friend who used this book only and got an Ophthalmology distinction last year.  Its a short subject and this book serves its purpose well.

Dr. Sanjeev Mittal's Ophthalmology Textbook proved invaluable during my professional exams. Switching from AK Khurana, this book's concise content and real surgical images made it easier to grasp. Highly recommended for all ophthalmology students!

Some of the points that have made this book a great resource for me are its elaborately labelled diagrams, the amazing tables that have made the information concise and easy to remember, and the overall lucid language of the book. Thus, I would say this book is a great tool for those 3rd year MBBS students who wish to do well in their Professional exams, and also have a robust preparation for NEET-PG/NExT.

I've been looking for an good opthalmology book since i was in third year. I tried Khurana, but it was almost tough due to the presentation style. I also tried Parsons, which is a good book, but I couldn't write answers from it. I started reading Thieme's Textbook of Opthalmology a few days ago. I began with the lens, thus the anatomy was explained in a very simple manner. All of the major aspects had been addressed, including physiology, lens alterations, aberrant posture, and so on. It also has many pictures along with flow charts which made it even more simpler. I wish they give more clinical based scenario questions that make it even more useful to read during practical exams My advise for the juniors is that make more flow charts if possible while writing the answers So yes currently I'm liking this book as far as I have read. Let's see if this book becomes my favourite one!

The "Textbook of Ophthalmology" by Thieme is an exceptional resource, particularly for students preparing for competitive and theory exams. Written by the experienced faculty of AIIMS Rishikesh, this book makes complex topics in ophthalmology accessible and understandable. A standout feature of this textbook is the use of multiple flow charts to explain various topics. These flow charts break down intricate processes into clear, easy-to-follow steps, which significantly aids in understanding and retention. This visual approach is especially beneficial for quick revision, making it an ideal study tool for exams. The images are high-quality and easy to replicate, which is incredibly useful during exams. Being able to accurately draw these images in my exams boosted my confidence and improved my performance. My personal experience with this book has been transformative and helped me to pass my exams with flying colours.

Thorough Conceptual Revision: The book allows you to thoroughly revise core concepts. Point-by-Point Explanation: It offers concise, point-by-point explanations, making it easy to grasp and retain information. Schematic Diagrams: The inclusion of schematic diagrams helps in visualizing concepts, which you can replicate in your exams. Highlighted Applied Aspects: Key applied aspects are highlighted, ensuring you understand the practical implications. Simplified Pathways: Difficult and complicated pathways are explained through easy-to-follow flow charts. This book ensures you to focus on essential content, aiding in achieving good marks in your upcoming ophthalmology exam.

Mittal sir and Agarwal sir has probably created the best and all in one, complete in itself, book of ophthalmology. It has almost everything required to understand ophthalmology. I even completed my ophthalmology syllabus just one night before the exam, going through all its diagrams, headings, flowcharts and blue boxes especially. It is the go-to book for ophthalmology, Only thing struck me was that surgeries were not given chapter wise, but a completely different chapter of eye surgeries was given, which may be useful in long term though. Overall, 10 out of 10. I am completely satisfied with this book!
