Review quote

"I strongly and unconditionally recommend this book. It clearly and simply makes a sometimes-esoteric area vibrant and relevant. Although it is designed for optometry students, the clarity, brevity, and insight would serve nearly anyone in clinical vision science....[It] makes extremely difficult material simple, clear, and understandable."--Optometry and Vision Science
