Description
Now updated and expanded to cover the latest technologies, this full-color text on clinical refraction uses an easy-to-read format to give optometry students and practitioners all the important information they need. Also covers a wide range of other aspects of the eye exam, including anterior and posterior segment evaluations, contact lens, ocular pharmacology, and visual field analysis. Four new chapters cover wavefront-guided refraction, optical correction with refractive surgeries, prosthetic devices, and patients with ocular pathology.

Review quotes
Review quotes
"In summary, Borish’s Clinical Refraction is a modern, comprehensive, didactic approach to the principles and the clinical practice of refraction. While the text emphasizes the examination of the eye and the visual system, the methods of refraction, and the prescription of various types of spectacles and contact lens, there is also a detailed analysis and discussion of the field of refractive surgery and prosthetic devices. The book is a useful textbook on the principles and the practice of refraction; the measurement and analysis of refractive errors and the detailed steps to treat, manage, and prescribe spectacles or contact lenses that serve to ameliorate the refractive errors and thus improve the quality of the patient’s lives. The second edition has many new features; for example, an expanded chapter on patients with keratoconus and irregular astigmatism. An important section is devoted to the special ocular conditions that are of importance to the clinician. In conclusion, I highly recommend this very practical book for its honest, critical, comprehensive, and scholarly approach." --William J. Benjamin, Editor, Irvin M.
