Beskrivning

The Wisdom of the Eye is a survey of the major concepts underlying many of the basic sciences related to the human eye and visual brain in one volume, using anecdotes and a minimum of highly technical language to emphasize the important points. This book presents an up-to-date treatment on how the eye and visual system work to help us see, interpret what we see, and communicate what we feel. It also examines how this description of the visual system teaches us more about ourselves.

Humanizes vision research using anecdotes
Uses many original illustrations and examples to demonstrate concepts
Provides a synthesis of many disciplines including ophthalmology, optometry, and basic science
Presents the visual system consistently in the context of its survival advantages
Covers a wide variety of topics including infant vision, adult retinal image, animal vision, eye injuries, refractive areas, the eye as a transmitter and receiver of information, optical illusions, color, visual awareness, and more
