Description
The ultimate ophthalmic dispensing reference, this book provides a step-by-step system for properly fitting and adjusting eyewear. It
covers every aspect of dispensing – from basic terminology to frame selection to eyewear fitting, adjusting, and repairing. Perfect for
both students who are just learning about dispensing and practitioners who want to keep their skills up to date, this resource offers
in-depth discussions of all types of lenses, including multifocal, progressive, absorptive, safety, recreational, aspheric, and high
index. Plus, it goes beyond the basics to explore the "how" and "why" behind lens selection, to help you better understand and meet your
patients' vision needs.
