Dynamic Skiametry And Methods Of Testing The Accommodation And Convergence Of The Eyes (1920)

Dynamic Skiametry And Methods Of Testing The Accommodation And Convergence Of The Eyes is a book written by Charles Sheard and originally published in 1920. The book is a comprehensive guide to the study and examination of the eyes, focusing specifically on the measurement of accommodation and convergence. The book begins with an introduction to the principles of dynamic skiametry, which is the measurement of the visual function of the eyes while they are in motion. Sheard explains the different types of skiametry and how they can be used to test the eyes' ability to focus and track objects. The book then goes on to describe in detail the various methods of testing accommodation and convergence, including the use of prisms, lenses, and other optical devices. Sheard provides step-by-step instructions for performing these tests and interpreting the results. Throughout the book, Sheard emphasizes the importance of accurate measurement and careful observation in the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. He also discusses various conditions that can affect the eyes, such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and strabismus, and how they can be detected and treated through skiametry and other methods. Overall, Dynamic Skiametry And Methods Of Testing The Accommodation And Convergence Of The Eyes is a valuable resource for optometrists, ophthalmologists, and other eye care professionals, as well as anyone interested in the science of vision and the workings of the human eye.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
