With its suggested routines and numerous examples, this new book offers a straightforward \"how to approach\" to the understanding of clinical optics, refraction and contact lens optics.  Designed for easy access, it presents information in a concise format that highlights key, need-to-know points.  Part 1 addresses the basic visual optics of the eye along with emmetropia, ametropia and the correction of ametropia with spectacle lenses. Part 2 turns to the optics of contact lenses and the use of contact lenses in vision correction.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumerous worked examples based on real examination questions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical and user friendly text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 190 clear line diagrams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn essential passport to examination success and a valuable quick reference for practitioners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePart 1.
