The acclaimed introductory text to geometrical and visual optics --- now in full color
Geometrical and Visual Optics, Third Edition is a rigorous, yet approachable text that expertly combines basic optics with clinical application in a way that brings key optometry topics to life. It is meant to be a concise and user-friendly resource for clinicians as they begin their study of optics, and as they eventually prepare for licensing examinations. The book emphasizes optical concepts and problem-solving skills that underlie contemporary clinical eye care, and because of its clinical utility, a vergence approach is stressed.

· 200+ end-of-chapter self-assessment problems with detailed worked-out solutions

· Primary emphasis is on core concepts, with a minimum of formulas and superfluous mathematics
