OPTICS FOR CLINICIANS

By Melvin L. Rubin, M.D.

Promoting logic and reasoning instead of blind applications of mathematical formulas, the author teaches principles that appear every day in practice. Almost everything you'll ever need for clinical use and for board exams is covered.

For over 25 years, Optics for Clinicians has been enthusiastically embraced by students, residents-in-training, and practitioners. In everyday language and an informal style, the author turns a difficult topic into one that is understandable.
