Book excerpt: "50 Ophthalmology Studies Every Ophthalmologist Should Know" succinctly summarizes the most important and clinically relevant studies published in the mainstream ophthalmology literature in the past 40 years. Emphasis has been placed on landmark studies, rather than studies that are most frequently cited, which changed thinking and practice in the field. Most are randomized controlled trials that have helped shape current ophthalmology practice guidelines; However, some important observational (cohort, case-control, and descriptive) studies are also included. The book is divided into 7 sections, corresponding to anatomical segment or disease of the eye (cornea, cataract, glaucoma, vitreoretinal, macula, uveal tract, and orbit/eyelids/extraocular muscles/optic nerve). Each chapter finishes with an illustrative clinical case. Ophthalmology has a particular relevance to physicians working in primary care, internal medicine, neurology, neurosurgery, pediatrics, and emergency medicine. For ophthalmologists, each chapter has a reference to the relevant section of the practice guidelines of the American Academy of Ophthalmology"--
