Publisher's Synopsis
Refraction of the Eye, Its Diagnosis and the Correction of Its Errors: With a Chapter on Keratoscopy is a book written by Andrew Stanford Morton in 1882. The book is a comprehensive guide to the science of refraction of the eye, its diagnosis, and the correction of its errors. Morton provides a detailed explanation of the anatomy and physiology of the eye, including the different structures and their functions. He also discusses the principles of optics and how they relate to the eye.The book covers various topics related to refraction, including the different types of refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Morton explains the various diagnostic techniques used to identify these errors, such as the use of the ophthalmoscope and the retinoscope. He also discusses the different methods of correcting refractive errors, including the use of glasses, contact lenses, and surgery.In addition to discussing the diagnosis and correction of refractive errors, Morton also includes a chapter on keratoscopy. This technique involves the use of a special instrument to examine the cornea and determine its curvature. This information is then used to diagnose and correct refractive errors.Overall, Refraction of the Eye, Its Diagnosis and the Correction of Its Errors: With a Chapter on Keratoscopy is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of refraction and the correction of visual impairments. Its detailed explanations and comprehensive coverage make it a must-read for ophthalmologists, optometrists, and anyone else involved in the field of eye care.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
