About Geometric, Physical, And Visual Optics
Product Description * Fundamental text for an optometric curriculum, a student studying for the optometry boards, or a person interested in optics and vision * Uses the vergence-dioptric power-wavefront approach from the beginning * Emphasizes conceptual understanding and development of intuition * Emphasizes conceptual understanding and development of optical intuition * Uses the vergence-dioptric power-wavefront approach * Helpful review for optometry boards and qualifying examinations Review "keating provides an excellent text for the optometry student and practitioners. Very straightforward and accessible." From the Publisher Completely revised and updated, you will benefit from new and rewritten sections on: axial magnification * Jackson Cross Cylinder tests * retinoscopy reflex motions * field of view * the optics of indirect ophthalmoscopy * optical aberrations * diffractive lenses * the Doppler shift * lasers and the similarities and differences of Gaussian laser beams versus the propagation of light from a point source * plus, a new appendix on angles and basic trigonometry. Although not a matrix optics text, matrices are used extensively in the chapters on spherical systems and off-axis aspects of astigmatism. In particular, the matrix treatment of astigmatism serves as a foundation for the recently developed, much improved statistical techniques that deal with refractive corrections and astigmatism in all its aspects.
