Description
This book describes the optical structure and optical properties of the human eye. It will be useful to those who have an interest in
vision, such as optometrists, ophthalmologists, vision scientists, optical physicists and students of visual optics. An understanding
of the optics of the human eye is particularly important to designers of ophthalmic diagnostic equipment and visual optical systems such
as telescopes.
