FINALLY arrived at the library!!!

update: had to return it. I read several chapters -- retinal problems, prevention of eye problems (unimaginative), and some others.

for specific eye problems that aren't fully understood, it seems like journal articles are the way to go, unfortunately. although it's good to start with something like this or else the journal articles are unintelligible.

this is the only "serious" ophthalmology _book_ i've managed to get my hands on, and it was pretty good but i didn't learn tons that i hadn't read in the other handful of books, esp. about CSR. Ophthalmology Made Ridiculously Simple got more impressive in retrospect.

i do want to read the rest and will probably have to buy it considering how hard it was to request from some medical library the first time.
