Eye Examination and Refraction

Eye examination is the core of an optometrist’s routine work. The outcome indicates various supplementary tests required to assist decisions for management of patients.
Undergraduate students and pre–registration optometrists will find this comprehensive, contemporary, textbook invaluable. Experienced practitioners can use it to revise their own approach to the care of patients.
The new edition has been updated. Part 1 has been rewritten and part 2 has been extended to present 100 case histories, covering a wider range of practical clinical conditions. New revision questions, new appendices and more references have been added.
