"System for Ophthalmic Dispensing" provides a step-by-step tool for learning ophthalmic dispensing: how to fit and adjust frames, and the basic principles of ophthalmic lenses. This revision of the classic text incorporates new material on multifocals, high index lenses, aspherics, progressive addition, and absorptive lenses, as well as practical information on new frame materials and related changes in how frames are adjusted. New chapters include: Prism and Accommodation at Near; Lens Materials and Protective Eyewear; and Special Lens Designs.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Very straightforward & methodical in its presentation of concepts; range of info from very basic to moderately sophisticated; good reference for students preparing for state board exams; please update the old dispensing pictures -- when students see the 1970ish pictures, they think the text is outdated!
