Spectacle Prescription – A Practical Guide () by Dr Harbansh Lal PDF

Description

Respected Seniors and Dear Friends It gives me an immense pleasure to write a foreword to Spectacle Prescription – A Practical Guide authored by Dr Harbansh Lal. This textbook will be very useful for Optometrists, postgraduate students and Ophthalmologists in general in practice. The process of clinical refraction is the most common and one of the first skill that we teach our students and it is the procedure that they are required to repeat more than any other procedure during their training. Best corrected visual acuity obtained via skilfully performed retinoscopy and subjective refraction, is the primary measure that guides much of our treatment and surgery. The practical guidelines and tricks for prescribing spectacles are taught neither frequently enough nor well enough. Most of the students are often left to learn these practical points by trial and error, with not enough time, or not enough interest, to engage senior colleagues to learn from their wisdom and experience. This textbook provides simple and elegant exposure to the practical points of refraction. It begins with basic terminology and then includes such important topics like clinical refraction, retinoscopy and spectacles prescription guidelines. The latter half of the textbook teaches subjective refraction by case examples, an entertaining method of embellishing upon, and adding to, the principles previously presented, in real world patient situation. This practical guide is a concise account, yet also comprehensive and will prove to be a valuable guide for spectacle prescription.
