I enjoy and learn from books that start by framing a subject like a textbook and then have an expert commentary that says "this is specifically what I do." This book accomplishes this task well. I wish only that my friends who did not take ophthalmology as a second language could equally enjoy this book. Like Les Mis in French. Like 1Q84 in Japanese. It just flows.
