In an easy-to-understand style, this work introduces "traditional optometry" to the optometry student. Dr. Grosvenor explains how to perform a comprehensive optometric examination including assessment of ocular health, refractive status, binocular vision status, and how to prescribe corrective lenses for patients' refractive errors and binocular vision anomalies. This fourth edition has been extensively updated in areas such as refractive surgery (including LASIK), myopia, low vision, and contact lenses. New information on diagnostic procedures and technology (such as the handheld tonometer) has also been incorporated.

"Tries to cover too large of a content area and has too much emphasis on historical and theoretical areas. Many diagrams/figures are very oudated."
