This work presents current applications of optical phenomena, including the optical foundations of lasers, spectacles, IOLs, refractive surgery, and the design, fitting, and complications of contact lenses. New in this section are many illustrations depicting wavefront analysis, the design and use of ophthalmic instruments, and basic concepts of geometrical optics. For over 60 years, the "BCSC" has been the core curriculum in ophthalmology residency programs and a definitive source of up-to-date clinical knowledge for practitioners. Continually updated by a faculty of leading ophthalmologists in academia and practice, the "BCSC" draws on a solid foundation of scientific research and clinical experience.
