It was invaluable when brushing up on studying. I took the test today and felt it was a tough test though.

My bible today. Read that book carefully and that, coupled with your clinical experience, is everything and more that you need to know. Having said that,I believe that book is out of print. Find a copy while you can- you won’t be sorry. For pure ophthalmic physics ( and you won’t be asked these questions but it was very helpful to me to understand what is happening in the probe, amplifier and receiver) find a copy of Ultrasonography of the Eye and Orbit by D. Jackson Coleman. Printed in 1934!! But reprinted in 1977. ISBN 0-8121-0498-8. Pat Saine at Blue Plate Books has often been a great resource to me in finding out of print books.

Also, thank you for wanting to share your experience with those of us interested in this endeavor. It takes great humility and a good deal of character to do that. Thank you! I am very interested in pursuing this course. What book(s) would you recommend? What counsel would you offer? Any advice would be appreciated. Again, congrats! Any more titles and you'll need to use another line:-) Robert G.
