Manual of Optics and Refraction

by PK Mukherjee

Optics is the study of the behavior and properties of light. A refraction test is given as part of a routine eye examination. The test tells an optometrist what prescription is needed in glasses or contact lenses. The new edition of this book is a comprehensive guide to the optics of the human eye and various errors of refraction, including their clinical presentation and management. Divided into eleven chapters, the text extensively covers the physical properties of light, reflection and refraction, curved optical devices, optics of the normal eye and errors of refraction, devices for optical examination, contact lenses, low vision aids, and refractive surgery. The book is profoundly illustrated with charts, diagrams and photographs. The book is written in simple language mostly for postgraduates, trainees and practicing optometrists, and medical teachers. The undergraduates will also find it useful.
