Synopsis

Oculo-Refractive Cyclopedia And Dictionary by Thomas George Atkinson provides a comprehensive, unabridged reference on ocular refraction and related optics. The volume compiles a vast glossary of ophthalmic terms, definitions, and explanations spanning anatomy (the eye’s coats, retina, sclera, lens), physiology (accommodation, convergence, visual pathways), and refraction (emmetropia, hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism). It also covers practical instrumentation (ophthalmoscopes, retinoscopes, keratometer, phorometer) and testing procedures (dynamic skiametry, Maddox rod tests, perimetry) along with methods for correcting refractive errors through lenses and prisms (diopters, prism dioptres, toric lenses, bifocals). The Foreword emphasizes crystallizing the subject and standardizing nomenclature, assembling diverse material into a single, useful reference for practitioners. Richly illustrated, the book serves as an authoritative guide for clinicians, students, and researchers in ophthalmology and optometry.
