Infos

This multidisciplinary approach to visual perception provides a comprehensive treatment of the material and assumes little prior knowledge. It aims to provide those essentials of monocular visual perception upon which successful clinical practice is predicated. In addition to providing a basic science background, each chapter discusses the clinical relevance and application of the material. Self-assessment questions are presented at the conclusion of each chapter to test the reader's understanding and also develop and reinforce key concepts.
