Field Guide to Visual and Ophthalmic Optics (SPIE Vol. FG04)

This book is certainly not meant to be a complete textbook about ophthalmic optics. However, it is very suitable to obtain an brief overview or to use it as a work of reference. The texts are easy to understand if one has a general background in geometric optics. I would also recommend this book to medical students who don't have to know each and every detail about the underlying technologies.

As an admin at an optics company so I can't give a thorough review of this field guide (I process the paperwork, not work with eyeballs all day long). However, my boss swears by this guide and had me purchase 1/2 dozen of these books to give out to all of the optical scientists in our department, so it has to be pretty good!
