Bennett's Ophthalmic Prescription Work

Arthur Bennett's reference book has been updated and revised for the modern practitioner. The text remains a touchstone for all trainees entering the world of retail and manufacturing optics and continues to appeal to dispensing opticians, optical assistants, technicians and receptionists. This book describes in simple terms the theory, manufacturing process and prescription of spectacle lenses and frame materials. It serves as an introduction to ophthalmic prescription work for those joining the industry, in either a production laboratory or a small workshop. The third edition has been updated and revised by Kelvin Wakefield while retaining a considerable amount of the founding author's input and wisdom.
