5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive and "user friendly" low vision resource, April 17, 2000

By 

Rhonda L.Edmonds, O.D. (Lawrence,Kansas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Art and Practice of Low Vision, 2e (Paperback)

A seasoned "specialist" is not going to buy this book (i.e. retina specialist does not go out and buy a text book on retina, but rather searches out more current and complex research articles). As a general practitioner, I found this book to be an excellant resource for those who would like to become low vision specialists. It gives the "nuts and bolts" approach; everything from low vision exam and training forms to equipment, treatment options, and low vision optics. In addition, the appendices list many low vision resources, related organizations, and optical reference tables. There is a growing need for low vision services and this book is one step towards enabling many optometrists to meet those needs.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Art and Practice of Low Vision, April 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Art and Practice of Low Vision, 2e (Paperback)

This book is a BASIC book for optometrists who want to dabble in low vision. It is not for the low vision specialist! I found a lot of the information to be useful, but there are better books available.
