Ophthalmology residents face one of the steepest learning curves. Practical Ophthalmology: A Manual for Beginning Residents is the American Academy of Ophthalmology (Academy), step-by-step resource specifically designed to help first-year (PGY-1) ophthalmology residents close the gap between general clinical medicine and ophthalmology.

Written and edited by residency program directors, this practical resource explains step by step the examination techniques and clinical protocols that are critical for residents to learn in the early months of the integrated internship year.
