Geometric, Physical, and Visual Optics - Michael P. Keating

. .

Résumé :
* Fundamental text for an optometric curriculum, a student studying for the optometry boards, or a person interested in optics and vision * Uses the vergence-dioptric power-wavefront approach from the beginning * Emphasizes conceptual understanding and development of intuition
