Excerpt from Visual Optics and Sight Testing "Visual Optics and Sight Testing" has proved useful to English-speaking opticians and optometrists, and it has found a market not only in the British Isles, but also in the United States and the Dominions and Colonies of the British Empire, I trust that the numerous additions scattered throughout the work, and the changes made in the arrangement of the matter contained in this Second Edition, will tend to increase its utility. The new nomenclature in ocular anatomy is given in the chapter on this subject. In addition to the books recommended overleaf in the Preface to the first edition, students are advised to read "The Recognition of Ocular Disease," by Dr. James Forrest. I again recognize, and with pleasure, the most invaluable aid and advice of Mr. H.Oscar Wood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
