Easy reading, full of medical terms that are explained well for the lay person. Good for gaining a well rounded education. It needs a new edition to update the surgical technology advancements.

I bought this book two years ago when my eyesight was failing. It described in detail using both text and pictures the cataract surgery I was to undergo, thus allowing me to be an informed patient. I recommend this book highly for anyone interested in educating themselves about eye health and treatment.
An intelligent and concise read.

This is a very encyclopedia-type of book. It has a lot of information about different eye problems and is a great book describing the functions of the different parts of the eye and what goes on at visits to the eye doctor. But it doesn't give alot of information on saving your sight, taking care of your eyes, remedies for problems or anything like that. The book claims to be "The Owner's Manual for your Eyes" but I don't think this to be very accurate. Its from 1998, but doesn't even include alot about laser surgery.

The Eye Book by Gary Cassel is extremely well-organized and easy to read. Anyone wanting to know how their amazing eyes work should read this book. It also conveys basic information about many eye diseases.
Rated by buyers -
The book is a good layman's guide to understanding the eye and the most common types of eye problems. However, the subtitle, A complete guide to eye disorders, is somewhat misleading. Many eye disorders are not covered. Only major disorders such as cataracts, glaucoma, ARMD, and diabetic retinopathy are discussed in detail. Otherwise, some other disorders are described at a high level in a few paragraphs.
