Great Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Geometrical and Visual Optics : A Clinical Introduction (Hardcover)
I really love this book. It makes optics easy to understand and actually fun! Dr. Schwartz gets to the point without a lot of mumbo jumbo. I like this book as much his Visual Perception book.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not good enough for me,
By A Customer
This review is from: Geometrical and Visual Optics : A Clinical Introduction (Hardcover)
As an optometry student, this book is ok if you just want to understand the concepts, but I feel it only touches it superficially.To understand geometrical optics, I wanted lots of example problems shown with different scenarios. I didn't feel very prepared going into a testing environment with this book.
