This book, however, makes no assumptions and guides the reader through the steps necessary to become proficient with the foundations of everyday optics.  The author did a very commendable job in achieving these important and necessary objectives.  Learning optics can be intimidating for many but this book simplifies the important concepts in a succinct and easy to follow format.  Every office that hires opticians or optical assistants should have a copy of this book.\" -Doody Enterprises \u003cp\u003e“This book, accurately titled, is a detailed compendium of information required to understand lens finishing in an ophthalmic laboratory.  The book is comprehensively written from the viewpoint of physically performing the activities and processes in a finishing laboratory.  The most impressive aspect of this book is the thoroughness and extreme attention to detail.  It is difficult to imagine a specialty situation or nuance that is not addressed in this book.  Each chapter is enhanced with a liberal number of figures and photographs that are very useful.? - Optometry and Vision Science – VOL. 81\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eHighly readable and packed with instructional photos and drawings, this book also features a separate kit for practicing lens edging layout at home.
