Best optics book ever
in preparation for OKAPS and Boards, this book is awesome. For those looking for more detailed book, check out optics for clinicians or some other textbook. For a review of optics a week before a major exam, you MUST have this book
A MUST READ !!!
it is not a standard text, not meant to be. but it is a very practical review with practical information and applications not found in many standard texts. the information is also pretty current and accurate, albeit paltry. definitely a good read the month before the exam, and the best review material for those finished with the exams. a nice fresh approach to a tedious task all in all. good one!
Great review for Ophthalmologists
Throw away the Academy of Ophthalmology's optics book. This concise text is all you need. If you read it carefully, do the problems and really learn what it teaches, you will score very well on the OKAPs and board exams.
Aimed at the exam taker
As a reference book, this little handbook falls short. As alearning tool it is also lacking, with little detail or helpfuldiagrams.
However, as a study tool, this review should serve the student well if he/she had a real reference from which to learn. That is, in fact, what it markets itself to be -- a last minute study review -- so no false advertising here.
