Synopsis
Explore the foundations of light and vision for your ophthalmology studies. This comprehensive reference covers the core principles of optics, from how light travels and bends at surfaces to how the eye forms sharp retinal images. With clear explanations, it connects physical theory to practical eye care, helping you understand both the science and its clinical implications.
This edition presents the evolution of optical theories, the behavior of light in different media, and the essential laws that govern refraction and reflection. It emphasizes the eye as an optical system, detailing focal distances, lens behavior, and how spectacles affect vision. Rich in diagrams and step-by-step reasoning, it is a reliable companion for students and professionals seeking a solid grounding in optics relevant to ophthalmology.
- Foundational concepts: light, media, refraction, reflection, and the wave theory of light
- Detailed discussion of the eye as an optical instrument, including focal lengths and image formation
- Snell’s law, index of refraction, and the boundaries between media
- Practical insights into spectacles, lenses, and retinal images within clinical contexts
Ideal for readers of medical optics, ophthalmology students, and professionals needing a dependable reference on how light and vision intersect in the eye.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the science of optics as it pertains to ophthalmology. Its focus is on the refraction of light through the eye, using simple algebraic equations and basic geometry to explain the principles of optical systems. The author has sought to provide an easily-understandable text for those seeking to become versed in ophthalmology as a science, and while some demonstrations may require familiarity with trigonometry, the book largely avoids advanced mathematical concepts. The demonstrations use Heath's Geometrical Optics as a basis, but have been modified to better suit the author's purposes and provide a uniform notation that the reader can easily follow. Noting that spherical lenses cause spherical aberrations, the text also explores the use of lens combinations to overcome these aberrations and achieve clearer vision. A valuable reference for those seeking a thorough understanding of the science behind ophthalmology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332229727_0
