Riassunto

Self-contained sections on geometrical and physical optics provide tutorials for novices. Detailed examples show you how to manage specific calculations. Topics include basic geometrical and physical optics, the retinal image, ocular biometry, and accommodation, along with development, measurement, and management of refractive errors.
