• Offer precise, step-by-step how-to's for performing all of the most effective refractive techniques.
• Presents individualized refractive approaches for the full range of patients, including special patient populations.
• Contriubtors are internationally recognized, leading authorities in the field.
• New full-color design with full-color images throughout.
• Completely updated and expanded to include current technologies.
• A new chapter on Optical Correction with Refractive Surgeries, including keratoplasty, traditional refractive surgeries (e.g. LASIK and PRK), crystalline lens extraction with and without pseudophakia, the new presbyopic surgery, etc.
• A new chapter on Wavefront Guided Refraction provides information on the advantages and limitations the Hartmann-Shack Method for objective refraction plus aberrometry and the refraction and the use of in the correction of the eye with spectacles, contact lenses, and refractive surgery.
• A new chapter on Patients with Ocular Pathology reflects the most current knowledge of patients with ocular pathologies.
• Providesinformation on Optical Correction with Prosthetic Devices, including corneal onlays, stromal implants, phakic intraocular lenses, etc.
• Includes new chapters and/or discussions on such topics as: Aberrations of the Eye, Refractive Consequences of Eye Pathology, Diagnosis and Treatment of Dry Eye, Diagnosis of Pathology of the Anterior Segment, Diagnosis of Glaucoma, and Diagnosis of Pathology of the Posterior Segment.
• Visual Acuity chapter expanded to include the effect of refractive error on visual acuity and statistics on how much of a change in visual acuity is significant.
• Objective Refraction, Corneal Topography, and Visual Field Analysis chapters include the addition of new electro-optical and computer techniques and equipment.
• Chapters on Multifocal Spectacle Lenses and Contact Lenses now cover newer progressive addition lenses and contact lenses that are now on the market.
• Electrodiagnosis chapter revised to take a more clinical approach.
AnnotationThe book contains predominantly black-and-white figures, with some color figures.
Brian MarshallAlthough this book is a first edition, it is based upon the optometric masterpiece, Clinical Refraction by Irvin Borish (1970). This book has been painstakingly updated and presented in text form. The earlier work was written in outline format. This book provides the reader an encyclopedic coverage of all the techniques and procedures involved in providing comprehensive eye examinations. This is a very worthy but difficult goal for one book to accomplish. The editor did an extraordinary job in compiling the latest information in optometry care. It is appropriately written for eye care practitioners, residents, and the more advanced student. The editor and contributors are all well-known authorities in the subject matter, and many have academic affiliations. As the title suggests, this book describes the latest techniques in modern, clinical refraction. In addition, it contains information on a wide range of other important aspects of the eye examination, including anterior and posterior segment evaluations, contact lens, ocular pharmacology, and visual field analysis. In accordance with the roots of the book, the components directly related to ocular refraction are provided in greatest depth. This book provides very comprehensive and current coverage on everything that is known on the subject of clinical refraction. It is written in an easy-to-read format that will allow the busy practitioner to quickly access information of interest. There is no other single text available that can compare to the wealth of information contained in this one book. This is a book that every clinical practitioner should have in his or her office.
