recognised text on optics for the examinations of the Royal College
of Ophthalmologists and the Royal Surgical Colleges. It approaches
the subject from first principles and assumes no previous knowledge
of optics.
The book has been kept as simple as possible and is liberally
complemented with diagrams designed to be easily understood and
memorised. Only the most fundamental and clinically useful
mathematical formulae are quoted, and the optical principles are
applied to clinical situations.
Ophthalmology examinations have changed substantially since the
last edition was written and a total rewrite of this essential
guide has become necessary. The third edition has been made more
comprehensive and detailed to keep up with these changes and
incorporates three new chapters: refractive surgery, contact lenses
and lasers. Other new material includes photometry, visual acuity,
contrast sensitivity, colour vision, absorptive lenses,
fluorescence, ultrasound, and the specular microscope.
