"Visual optics deals with the study of light, how images are formed by optical systems (lenses, mirrors, and eyes), how vision is affected by these, and how clinicians measure and correct for refractive errors. This book is well crafted to make these "heavy" topics "light." It is rich with colorful, well-designed illustrations and step-by-step solutions to common types of optics problems students will have to master. It also includes excellent self-assessment questions and experiments to enhance understanding. The ebook provides videos which are great additions to the written material." ©Doody's Review Service, 2023, John Mark Jackson, OD, MS (Southern College of Optometry)
