Schmidtmann, G., Clinical Vision Science - A Concise Guide to Numbers, Laws, and Formulas, Springer International Publishing, ISBN: 978-3-030-35340-7, DOI: 10.1007/978-3-030-35340-7 [Link] [Google Books Link] [Link to Interview with Optometry Today]

“The guide is written for everyone in the vision care community, but specifically those in training (i.e., students, residents.) … This book is filled with great diagrams, figures, and tables. … As a reference guide to introductory knowledge of optometry, this book could be a worthwhile addition to a student's library.” (Tyler Kitzman, Doody’s Book Reviews, August 21, 2020)
