Synopsis

Clinical Optics is intended primarily for use by optometry students, though it could also prove useful for the training of optometric technicians and dispensing opticians. This book is organized into thirteen chapters. These chapters cover most aspects of ophthalmic optics or clinical optics including the design and dispensing of eyewear, the types for lenses suitable for correcting high refractive errors, the optical principles governing low vision lenses and the importance of absorptive lenses and lens coatings for eye protection against radiation. This book will be of interest to optometry students and to those involved in the training of optometric technicians and dispensing opticians.

About this title

From the Publisher

The authors successfully combine basic fundamentals with clinical correlations relevant to practice. The second edition explores advances in the design and manufacture of ophthalmic lenses, such as high-index plastic ophthalmic lens materials, aspheric lens designs and the combination of high-index materials and aspheric lens designs, and plastic photochromic lenses. The student will find valuable explanations of new progressive-addition lens designs, advances in ultraviolet radiation protection, and new designs in ophthalmic lenses for computer use.
