⭐It‘s a practical book with easily understood content. Like!

⭐I really like keeping new textbooks new but when this came, all the corners were ripped off and some of the colours were ripped off too. Little disappointed but it’s whatever. The actual textbook itself is great though, lots of information.

⭐Guter Überblick über das im Optikerfach gefragte technische Wissen. Für den Lernenden werden alle Beispiele mit Formeln durchgerechnet. Am Ende jedes Kapitels befinden sich weitere Aufgaben, deren Lösung sich im Anhang befindet.Für den sonstig Interessierten erklärt sich manches, was Augenarzt und Optiker bei der Bestimmung der Kennwerte eines optischen Hilfsmittels tun müssen.
