Synopsis

This is an easy to read, but not overly simplistic, introduction to clinically important topics. Through their own experience, the authors have been able to address the current gap in textbooks and achieve a balance between "need to know" and "what to know." It provides an introductory chapter that covers the history of visual optics and its relation to clinical vision care.
