Description
Designed to serve as a basic textbook for anyone learning the fundamental procedures of an eye examination, this text covers the examination procedure from case history to fundus examination. Each chapter focuses on a specific part of the eye exam - such as case history, visual activity or refraction - and progresses from a review of the relevant anatomy and physiology and descriptions of the measurement techniques to discussion of clinical observations.
