If you are planning on entering the optical field, or are a seasoned Optician, this book is a must have. Amazingly comprehensive, covers everything from the very simple to complex in a very easy to follow format. The style is precise, yet comfortable to read, and for the student (aren't we all?) there are review questions at the end of chapters. Not recommended ... required!

It's an enormous improvement from the second edition, which I also own a copy of. The book covers everything you need to know to pass state and national board examinations and become a licensed dispensing optician. My only complaints are that its contents are ordered somewhat counterintuitively, and that it's a very large, heavy volume (I have enough to tote around with my tools!)

I used this book to prepare for the State Optician Boards. It was great, In have now lent out my copy several times. Well worth the money.

This book is a most complete reference manual for optical dispensing. It contains a vast amount of knowledge, all well indexed and highly accessible. Due to the encyclopedic scope of its contents, it works less well as a preparatory aid for the ABO examination than dedicated exam prep courses or manuals, but its exhaustive inventory of detail is a strength when it comes to real world optical dispensing. This book is an indispensable aid if you are an eye care professional who likes to "do it right the first time". Highly recommended.

I used the 1st edition as a student....this one is many many times better. If you are a student hopefully this is one of your required textbooks. If you are a practicing optician, this book belongs on your office shelf.

This is such a great reference that every optician should have in their arsenal. Also, a great addition to study materials for the American Board of Opticianry's National Opticianry Competency Advanced Examination (the Advanced NOCE by the ABO).

This book has considerable more content than the previous second edition and is required reading for many college ophthalmic programs. As a reference book, it is by far the most useful to me.

This book is amazing! It is so straight forward with loads of pictures to accompany the book. Its great for both optometrists to get a basis for lens making as well as opticians. I will be lending this book out to the opticians in my practice.

I am about to start college for my last semester. I could not have asked for a better deal. I got this book for less than half the original price. That helps me save on gas money.
