Moreover, the search engine is lightening fast. Matching references appear almost immediately after you start the search. Given the enormous amount of information on the disc, this is amazing. The information on the disk is invaluable to any ophthalmologist and at any level. Practicing clinicians can use the disc to get information on the latest treatment for a disease they just saw in the office.
Researchers can use the disc to explore the literature on a particularly vexing problem in the lab.
The CD-ROM contains abstracts for articles from every major ophthalmic journal allowing you to search at will for any information you need in the field. The CD-ROM contains the Medline database for every major ophthalmic journal currently in print. The list of journals is exhaustive. I could not find a journal that I would have liked to seen included. The only short coming to this CD-ROM is that, owing to the nature of the information itself, one must always get upgrades to have the current Medline database.
