Last-Minute Optics

Learn and review clinical optics and refraction with the newly revised edition of this popular resource! Last-Minute Optics, 3rd Edition, distills a vast amount of complex information into an easy-to-read, engaging text that makes the most of your limited study time. Now in full color for the first time, this clear and concise review manual features a unique question-and-answer format that allows for self-assessment and easy identification of areas where more study is needed.

"The book’s goal is to act as a 'last minute' review text, covering the most important topics that will likely be encountered on board and licensing examinations.... All chapters are presented in a question-and-answer format only, rather than lengthy text summaries.... The answers to the questions are concise, well-written, and often humorous, with memory aids and clinical pearls throughout. The illustrations are clear and well-crafted and make many of the concepts easier to understand.... This is the third edition of the reviewed book, and this version adds a third author, reorganizes the subjects a bit for a more logical flow, and adds color to illustrations, as well as an online version, making it a very useful update. I would highly recommend it for students and residents who want to quiz themselves on what areas they need to strengthen and to enhance their understanding of fuzzy concepts."
