Synopsis
An MCQ book covering the whole spectrum of the optometry syllabus.
Bradley S. Bessant
This is a new book of series of multiple choice questions in optometry. The layout of the book is 4 to 5 questions on one page with the corresponding answers on the overleaf. Its main purpose is to enhance the student's skill in taking multiple-choice question tests in optometry. As such, this book is written for optometry students, although instructors also may find this book useful. It is a limited audience, but one that can certainly benefit from using this book. This book is divided into five major question sets that cover aspects of visual optics, clinical techniques, anatomy and physiology of the eye, contact lenses, and drugs used by optometry. Each section is described as becoming progressively more difficult. The illustrations in this book are concise and clear, although somewhat underutilized. The table of contents is minimal but sufficient. The references are copious and current with their related topics. The book appears to be well organized. The overall quality of this book is good and the premise is very good. The actual usefulness of this book is moderate to good. As an optometry instructor, I believe that there are a significant, albeit small, number of questions that are not necessarily appropriate and rather obscure. The actual premise of this book deserves recognition and is quite worthwhile.
