The Fifth Edition of Gass' Atlas of Macular Diseases, by Dr. Anita Agarwal, provides expert diagnostic guidance on macular disorders and quickly brings you up to date on this evolving specialty. Using a case-based approach, it richly depicts a full range of retina and macular diseases, including new infectious, degenerative, and dystrophic conditions. Take advantage of the latest imaging technologies to identify common and rare disorders, and confirm difficult diagnoses with the aid of more than 5,500 high-quality images. Printed in full color for the first time, this edition is accessible online at www.expertconsult.com.

  • Get expert diagnostic guidance under the new authorship of Dr. Anita Agarwal, a protégé of Dr. Gass who has compiled the ultimate collection of images and hard-to-find case studies from around the world.
  • Visualize the conditions you're likely to see in practice and confirm your diagnoses by comparing your clinical findings to more than 5,500 images and illustrations (over 3,500 in full color).

  • Obtain thorough advice on imaging and recognition of a full range of common and rare macular diseases using the latest approaches including fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), indocyanine green (ICG), and fundus autofluorescence.

RE: Gass' Atlas 5th Edition (Kindle Edition)

While the content of the Kindle edition of this atlas is good, it is let down by one very major flaw - lack of a proper table of contents. The physical book as well as the online version both have a detailed table of contents while only the major headings are displayed in the Kindle edition.

Unfortunately the search function is overly inclusive and it is difficult to distinguish whether the keyword one has typed in is coming up in a major heading, or simply in the exhaustive reference list that is found at the end of each chapter. There should be an advanced search option to exclude finding keywords within the references.

On a mac computer it is not possible to zoom in on the pictures, but it is possible to do so when using an iPhone or iPad. This limitation is irritating as I mostly use a mac laptop.

I'm not happy after having spent over $300 for a product I expected to be as good as the print copy, but with the distinct advantage of portability. I have emailed Amazon asking them to update the Kindle edition of this atlas but I have not had a response after about 3 weeks. The Kindle edition is very difficult to navigate and as a result I am not using it much. If these issues are resolved in an update, it will be a fantastic resource.
