Key Features
|
• Skilfully combines the theory and art of practice of optics and refraction.
• Text is organized in a manner that will assist students to understand, retain and reproduce facts easily.
• Well illustrated with line and four colour diagrams, wherever necessary.
• A chapter devoted exclusively to ‘Determination of the Errors of Refraction’.
• Optical aspects of modalities of correcting the refractive errors, viz. spectacles, contact lens, refractive surgery and intraocular lens implantation, dealt with in detail.
• Management of low vision discussed adequately.
• A full chapter covers description of important optical instruments and procedures which form the most essential part of the examination of the eye and modern ophthalmic practice.
