    The needs of clinicians predominate throughout the text, but these needs overlap with those of researchers especially in chapters covering randomized controlled trials. For readers to assess trials accurately they need to understand relevant guidelines on the conduct of trials that are emerging from methodological research. In presenting these discussions to clinicians these chapters will help researchers who also do randomized trials and provide a methodological background that enhances the quality and quantity of their research productivity.

    Completely revised and updated, you will benefit from new and rewritten sections on: axial magnification Jackson Cross Cylinder tests retinoscopy reflex motions field of view the optics of indirect ophthalmoscopy optical aberrations diffractive lenses the Doppler shift lasers and the similarities and differences of Gaussian laser beams versus the propagation of light from a point source plus, a new appendix on angles and basic trigonometry. Although not a matrix optics text, matrices are used extensively in the chapters on spherical systems and off-axis aspects of astigmatism.

    A General Practice Approach

    The new edition of this core text retains the same aim as its predecessors: to help students gain the maximum benefit from their period of exposure to general practice as part of their basic medical training. 'Clinical Method' provides medical undergraduates with a guide to the underlying principles of clinical method and explains how to integrate these skills into clinical practice for the benefit of patients.Since publication of the second edition, there have been some major developments in Primary Care which have affected both clinical practice and education. The increasing influence of evidence-based medicine is being felt, as are the recommendations for change in undergraduate medical education - which decreed that the acquisition of basic clinical method should be a priority. Although previous editions of this book did address these issues, this new edition has been structured and extended to reflect them even more.
