A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Written to help trainee ophthalmologists and now the recognizedtext on optics for the examinations of the Royal College ofOphthalmologists and the Royal Surgical Colleges, this textbookapproaches the subject from first principles and assumes noprevious knowledge of optics. The book has been kept as simple aspossible and is liberally complemented with diagrams which aredesigned to be easily understood and memorised. Only the mostfundamental and clinically useful mathematical formulae are quoted,and the optical principles are applied to clinicalsituations.

Ophthalmology examinations have changed substantially since thelast edition was written and a total rewrite of this essentialguide has become necessary. The third edition has been made morecomprehensive and detailed to keep up with these changes andincorporates three new chapters – on refractive surgery, contactlenses and lasers. Other new material includes photometry, visualacuity, contrast sensitivity, colour vision, absorptive lenses,fluorescence, ultrasound, and the specular microscope.
