Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ophthalmology and Ophthalmoscopy: For Practitioners and Students of Medicine
This work principally subserves didactic purposes, and is in tended to present modern ophthalmology in a form which will facilitate its reception. This requires above all a distinct separ ation - which should also be apparent externally - Oi the different divisions and subdivisions, and a gradually advancing presentation Of the subject, that assumes as little as possible. This explains the introduction of the optical and anatomico-physiological data which are necessary to the comprehension Of the subject. This appeared to me to be especially important in the chapter on errors of refraction and accommodation, whose mastery is impossible without such preliminary knowledge. As I know from experience the widespread antipathy of physicians to mathematics - it is difficult to determine whether this is congenital or acquired - I have reduced it to such a homeopathic dose, that even the student who most dreads calculations and formulae can tolerate it without bad efiects.
