Handbook of Visual Optics, Volume Two: Instrumentation and Vision Correction

This new edition of the Handbook of Visual Optics, Volume Two, presents an authoritative survey of modern ophthalmic instrumentation, vision-correction technologies, and the optical foundations of visual performance. Building upon the theoretical framework established in Volume One, it explores the science and technology of advanced imaging systems, laser-based diagnostics, adaptive-optics platforms, and surgical and corrective devices, which have transformed clinical practice over the past decade. This revised edition incorporates new developments in optical coherence tomography, multiphoton imaging, and adaptive optics, as well as innovative approaches to intraocular lenses and refractive correction. It integrates contributions from leading experts across optics, engineering, and vision science to provide both depth of understanding and practical relevance for researchers, clinicians, and students. Key Features:Comprehensive coverage of modern ophthalmic instrumentation, including optical coherence tomography, adaptive optics, multiphoton imaging, and photorefraction techniquesExpanded sections on vision correction, featuring new chapters on peripheral optics in intraocular lenses, nonlinear surgical optics, and emerging refractive technologiesBridges research and clinical application, combining rigorous optical principles with state-of-the-art tools for imaging, diagnosis, and correction of visual defects Read more
