Does exactly what the book says and gives a comprehensive last minute review of optics. Very useful for OKAPs a few weeks before.Pros: Organized/Step wise approach to teaching with some basic problems to do as you move through each lesson. Makes you feel comfortable with the basics of optics and gives you the ability to apply it to more complex problems. Concise resource very easy read in 7-8 hours and complete the entire book.Cons: Complex problems are lacking, does not have many back of the book problems for you to do. Felt more complex optics problems (prismatic effect in glasses, contact lens over correction were not covered in depth enough). Has a little coverage of some clinical optics for Oral boards but not enough to feel prepared.Overall this is a great entry review book to learn the basics of optics that will prepare you to handle most of problems you will encounter on OKAPs but if you are looking for more detailed problems and "advanced" optics problems this canNOT be your only resource.
Perfect read through for OKAPS and boards. This book really helped me out and I did quite well with optics on the boards. I highly recommend having a copy of this. I have taken the Guyton course too. I personally like to go through optics myself rather than be lectured at. If you understand all the concepts in this book, you should do well with optics.I really recommend spending the time with each question and really understanding each piece. Even though it is a thin book, I divided up the chapters during high study time. I also recommend going through it each time for OKAPS. Great book!
Throw away the Academy of Ophthalmology's optics book. This concise text is all you need. If you read it carefully, do the problems and really learn what it teaches, you will score very well on the OKAPs and board exams.
in preparation for OKAPS and Boards, this book is awesome. For those looking for more detailed book, check out optics for clinicians or some other textbook. For a review of optics a week before a major exam, you MUST have this book
I was recommended this text to study for OKAP. I found the format a little difficult to read - i.e. problems with answers/solutions instead of plain text, but overall, I learned enough optics to feel pretty comfortable with this subject on the test. I think this book would be even more helpful to those who are intimidated by the math involved and prefer to learn by reviewing solutions to common problems.
This book along with his lectures available online are extremely helpful in conceptualizing this subject. The built in problems let you put your knowledge to the test! Great book!
