Essential for anyone in the field

This latest edition is a welcome update and is relevant to today's lens materials and current standards. Anybody from beginner to seasoned optician can benefit from this book. Highly recommended.

I used the 1st edition as a student....this one is many many times better. If you are a student hopefully this is one of your required textbooks. If you are a practicing optician, this book belongs on your office shelf. Ed FNAO FOAA ABOC NCLC

The style is precise, yet comfortable to read, and for the student (aren't we all?) there are review questions at the end of chapters. Not recommended ... required!
