This text provides comprehensive educational instruction for ophthalmic technical personnel on how to perform various tasks as well as their practical theoretical basis and how to avoid technical and other pitfalls. Chapters and important sections begin with lists of learning objectives and end with a series of questions. The answers are located in the appendix. It is intended for use along with interactive instruction in the education of beginning students. The first third of the book provides basic science information and assumes that reader does not have a science background. The concept and layout of the book are superb and show the author's extensive experience in the provision of high quality education. For those who have heard the author lecture, it is easy to correctly imagine the high quality of the text and accompanying figures and tables. The entire book is filled with nuggets that ophthalmology residents could also benefit from learning. The illustrations are clear and appropriately labeled. The color and most of the black-and-white photographs are of good quality. Many highlighted tables describe specific techniques step-by-step in conjunction within drawings and photographs. Other important material is clearly marked. This new book is an important and significant contribution that gives precise, clear information on how to correctly perform ophthalmic tests as well as their biological basis. The format and excellent illustrative material make reading it an active process. This book should be a heavily used part of the library of all ophthalmic technical personnel.
