Publisher's Synopsis
The Principles of Refraction in the Human Eye: Based on the Laws of Conjugate Foci is a book written by Swan Moses Burnett and originally published in 1904. The book is a comprehensive study of the principles of refraction in the human eye, based on the laws of conjugate foci. The author explains the fundamental principles of refraction and how they apply to the human eye, including the concept of focal length, the refractive index of the eye, and the principles of astigmatism. The book also covers the anatomy of the eye and the various structures that contribute to its refractive properties, such as the cornea, lens, and vitreous humor. The author provides numerous diagrams and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts presented in the book. Overall, The Principles of Refraction in the Human Eye is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of vision and the principles of optics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
