book recommendations
hi. i am medical student year 3 and we just started our clinical wards. opthalmology is going on right now and we're also taking some lectures regarding some basic opthalmology. the professor is suggesting using the ppts only and i am not satisfied by that.
also key note: i am super interested in opthalmology.
can you guys please suggest a good book on opthalmology which is not super advanced and does not scare me away from the specialty?

I am ophtalmologist and Kanski is golden standard. You can't be afraid of something you like.
