'A medical student or non-ophthalmologist seeking a brief but coherent discussion of ophthalmology can do no better than Parr's Introduction to Ophthalmology.

In an introductory textbook, organization and clarity of expression - characteristics of some English authors - may be more important. A New Zealander, Parr combines American currency and English clarity.' The New England Journal of Medicine
