A Doody's Core Title ESSENTIAL PURCHASE! 4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW! "There are many books available on the topic of visual perception; however this...continues to be the gold standard. It is very detailed but structured in a format that is easy to follow and understand. It does a wonderful job of incorporating basic science with clinical applications and understanding. This is a mandatory book for every optometry student or any student interested in learning about how the human eye perceives the world around us."--Doody's Review Service The only text for the optometric optics course in optometry schools! This concise, student-friendly, highly visual text covers the key topics in geometrical and visual optics foundational to optometric practice. Features over 300 illustrations, summaries and self-assessment questions, and case studies making the subject more clinically relevant. In addition, the illustrations will be improved with more original artwork.

Visual Perception: A Clinical Orientation

McGraw=Hill

A textbook specifically for eye care professionals, providing those essentials of monocular visual perception. Stresses fundamental concepts and models that are physiologically based and link patients' complaints about perception to anatomy and physiology. First published in 1994 and here expanded to include certain of subsequent developments, among them extra-striate visual processing, motion perception, and the molecular genetics of color vision. Information throughout has also been updated. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

The cornerstone text on visual science – now more clinically relevant than ever 
SELF-ASSESSMENT QUIZ IN EACH CHAPTER
A Doody’s Core Title for 2019! 
Through five acclaimed editions, this trusted text has bridged the gap between basic visual science and clinical application. The Fifth Edition continues this mission with a more streamlined presentation and an even greater focus on clinical relevancy. Wide in scope, the book covers every clinically important aspect of visual science, including color vision and its defects, spatial vision, temporal aspects of vision, psychophysics, physiology, and development and maturation of the visual system.
This edition has been dramatically enhanced, with all figures in beautiful full color and the addition of new clinical images (including color vision tests and fundus photographs). All chapters have been thoroughly revised to reflect the latest advances in basic science, while increasing their clinical orientation. You will also find self-assessment questions at the end of every chapter and current references from leaders in each subfield.
The information presented in Visual Perception, Fifth Edition cannot be found in any other single volume. The book’s unique linkage of basic science and clinical application makes it of value to optometric and ophthalmologic students, faculty, and researchers. If you require a comprehensive text on visual science that imparts fundamental concepts in an engaging and interesting style, your search ends here.

Visual Perception: A Clinical Orientation, Fifth Edition (OPTOMETRY)

McGraw-Hill Medical

The acclaimed introductory text to geometrical and visual optics --- now in full color Geometrical and Visual Optics, Third Edition is a rigorous, yet approachable text that expertly combines basic optics with clinical application in a way that brings key optometry topics to life. It is meant to be a concise and user-friendly resource for clinicians as they begin their study of optics, and as they eventually prepare for licensing examinations. The book emphasizes optical concepts and problem-solving skills that underlie contemporary clinical eye care, and because of its clinical utility, a vergence approach is stressed. FEATURES: • 3 complete practice exams, totaling 122 questions • 200+ end-of-chapter self-assessment problems with detailed worked-out solutions • Full-color figures and clinical highlights • Learning Objectives appear at the beginning of each chapter • Color highlighted summaries, sample problems, and tables • Summary and list of formulas appear at the end of each chapter • NEW CHAPTER on lens thickness; and prism coverage has been expanded to include vertical imbalance • In-depth coverage of geometrical and visual optics spans the full spectrum of topics, from refraction at spherical surfaces, to thin and thick lenses, to depth of field, ametropia, magnification, retinal image size, and reflection • Primary emphasis is on core concepts, with a minimum of formulas and superfluous mathematics
