Introduction of this new subject of optometry in the curriculum necessitates to understand its technology and different optical instruments that are used as visual aids and for accurate measurements of normal and defective human vision what are the new dimensions to eye care techniques. This book provides an up-to-date knowledge in different phenomena relating to optics. It covers aberrometry and wavefront technology, refraction at a plane and spherical surface, chromatic aberration, optical fibre, lenses and their varieties, light, wave light and simple harmonic, motion, holography, defraction and polarization of light coherence, laser, photometry, spectroscopy, the velocity of light and its importance, viscosity and fluid motion, contact lenses, etc. Includes many recent techniques of refractive errors and surgery of the eye. Incorporate skillfully the theory and art of practice of optics and refraction. Its text is so well organized that helps to understand, retain and reproduce facts easily. Provides a detailed study on action of the eye and response of eye to light color formation of image, far and near. This book is a complete current and perfect reference to study and understand and treat disorders of eye. Most of the disorders encountered in the clinic are covered with their signs and symptoms and procedures to treat visual disorders. Intimates on silicone hydro gels disposable lenses, guides to fitting, evaluating and trouble shooting contact lenses, disposable lenses and care systems as well as on clinical topics such as bifocals.

Clinical Optics is intended primarily for use by optometry students, though it could also prove useful for the training of optometric technicians and dispensing opticians. This book is organized into thirteen chapters. These chapters cover most aspects of ophthalmic optics or clinical optics including the design and dispensing of eyewear, the types for lenses suitable for correcting high refractive errors, the optical principles governing low vision lenses and the importance of absorptive lenses and lens coatings for eye protection against radiation. This book will be of interest to optometry students and to those involved in the training of optometric technicians and dispensing opticians.

ISBN: 1108579833

This book is a comprehensive account of the most recent developments in modern ophthalmic optics. It makes use of the powerful matrix formalism to describe curvature and power, providing a unified view of the optical and geometrical properties of lenses. This unified approach is applicable to the design and properties of not only spectacle lenses, but also contact and intraocular lenses (IOL). The newest developments in lens design, manufacturing and testing are discussed, with an emphasis on the description of free-form technology, which has surpassed traditional manufacturing methods and allows digital lenses to be specifically designed with the unique requirements of the user. Other important topics which are covered include modern lens materials, up-to-date lens measuring techniques, contact and intraocular lenses, progressive power lenses, low vision aids, ocular protection and coatings. Providing a broad overview of recent developments in the field, it is ideal for researchers, manufacturers and practitioners involved in ophthalmic optics.

Optical Devices in Ophthalmology and Optometry Medical technology is a fast growing field. Optical Devices in Ophthalmology and Optometry gives a comprehensive review of modern optical technologies in ophthalmology and optometry alongside their clinical deployment. It bridges the technology and clinical domains and will be suitable in both technical and clinical environments. The book introduces and develops basic physical methods (in optics, photonics, and metrology) and their applications in the design of optical systems for use in ophthalmic medical technology. Medical applications described in detail demonstrate the advantage of utilizing optical-photonic methods. Exercises and solutions for each chapter help understand and apply basic principles and methods.
