I have a strong science and health background and have recently become interested in Optometry. In other words, I am not an Optometrist right now, but it is abundantly clear to me how students will really like this book.. The book is heavy, long, beautiful, illustration filled and nicely written by a variety of experts, with first-class editing. All of the topics that I can think of (for an introductory book) are thoroughly covered. Kind of reminds me of the level of quality that I have seen in Scientific American over the years.My only criticism is availability as an e-book. This would make a great read while on a cruise this spring, but is WAY too big to carry around in my suitcase.Bottom Line: Thanks, Mark (et al) for a most enjoyable and informative read. I am especially interested in refraction and lens construction, and those chapters were as good as I've ever encountered.
I am an OD returning to practice in the US after several years away. I wanted a book to serve as a refresher. For that purpose, I was looking for a text that was more clinically oriented than this book turned out to be. This text is quite wordy about past research, which maybe more useful to students, but less so for the clinician. I was also surprised to find so many references to laws and practice in the UK, versus the US. There is a whole chapter on UK law, and not a similar chapter on US law. I should have looked over the chapter titles more closely prior to ordering (my fault there). Overall, it was not as useful for my purposes as I had hoped........Maybe great for a UK optometry student??
Great book.Dr. Rosenfield teaches my Optometric Theory and Procedures class... He knows his stuff!!
