The ultimate ophthalmic dispensing reference, this book provides a step-by-step system for properly fitting and adjusting eyewear. It covers every aspect of dispensing from basic terminology to frame selection to eyewear fitting, adjusting, and repairing.

Plus, it goes beyond the basics to explore the "how" and "why" behind lens selection, to help you better understand and meet your patients' vision needs.

Reviews:

It's an enormous improvement from the second edition, which I also own a copy of. The book covers everything you need to know to pass state and national board examinations and become a licensed dispensing optician. My only complaints are that its contents are ordered somewhat counterintuitively, and that it's a very large, heavy volume (I have enough to tote around with my tools!)

I used the 1st edition as a student....this one is many many times better. If you are a student hopefully this is one of your required textbooks. If you are a practicing optician, this book belongs on your office shelf. EdFNAO FOAA ABOC NCLC

This book has considerable more content than the previous second edition and is required reading for many college ophthalmic programs. As a reference book, it is by far the most useful to me.

I used this book to prepare for the State Optician Boards. It was great, In have now lent out my copy several times. Well worth the money.

If you are planning on entering the optical field, or are a seasoned Optician, this book is a must have. Amazingly comprehensive, covers everything from the very simple to complex in a very easy to follow format. The style is precise, yet comfortable to read, and for the student (aren't we all?) there are review questions at the end of chapters. Not recommended ... required!
