I confess, I'm a huge nerd when it comes to getting new books, especially textbooks.  Though I own a print copy of the 7th Edition, I decided to go ahead and buy the 8th Edition of Kanski's Clinical Ophthalmology: A Systematic Approach.

The 8th Edition does not list Dr. Jack Kanski as one of the primary editors/authors; instead, the task of updating this work has fallen to one of his colleagues, Dr. Brad Bowling, who did a superb job of maintaining Dr. Kanski's original vision while inserting his own style to present up-to-date evidence-based information about the essential topics of ophthalmology.  Having personally relied heavily on the 7th edition during residency and through board review, I've been very eager to review this new text, which was released earlier this year.
