This fourth volume in the series Lectures in Optics provides
comprehensive coverage of Visual Optics, which is the field of
optics as applied to the function of the eye, a magnificent and
highly complicated optical system. The optics part of vision in a
'well-performing' eye pertains to the effects responsible for
formation and initial detection of the retinal image-the picture of
the world as it is projected onto the photosensitive layer of the
eye, the retina. The book presents the necessary concepts and
definitions that explain retinal image properties, including
aspects such as visual acuity and color perception. It discusses
the optics of the eye in the presence of refractive errors such as
myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, certain limitations to vision
such as accommodation and near vision, and effects of aging on
vision such as presbyopia and low vision. Finally, chapters devoted
to ophthalmic optics and prismatic effects provide in-depth
coverage of the optics involved in the correction of refractive
vision disorders.
