By David Atchison

The human eye is an incredible organ that allows us to perceive the world around us in incredible detail. Have you ever wondered how exactly our eyes work? How they are able to form images and transmit visual information to our brain? If you have, then “The Human Eye: Optical Structure and Optical Properties” by David Atchison is the book for you.

In this comprehensive guide, Atchison delves into the intricate optical structure of the eye and explores its various properties. He begins by explaining the basic components of the eye, including the refracting components, the pupil, axes, and simple models of the eye. From there, he delves into the process of image formation and refraction, covering refractive errors, their measurement, and correction.

Atchison also explores the interactions between light and the eye, discussing transmission, reflection, and scatter in the eye’s media and at the fundus. He then delves into aberrations and retinal image quality, helping readers understand the various aberrations that can affect vision and how they impact visual performance. Finally, he discusses depth-of-field and age-related changes in the eye’s optics.

This second edition of “The Human Eye” reflects the many advancements that have been made in the field of visual optics since the book was first published in 2000. Atchison covers new developments in instrumentation for imagery, biometry, and aberrations of the eye, providing readers with the latest information in the field. The book also addresses the increasing prevalence of myopia and its association with ocular pathology, as well as the use of Zernike polynomials to analyze aberrations.

One of the most valuable aspects of this book is its practical applications. Atchison highlights how an understanding of the optics of the human eye is crucial for professionals in fields such as optometry, ophthalmology, vision science, optical physics, and visual optical system design. This knowledge is particularly important for designers of ophthalmic diagnostic equipment and visual optical systems like telescopes.

Reading “The Human Eye: Optical Structure and Optical Properties” will not only deepen your understanding of how our eyes work but also provide you with valuable insights into the latest advancements in the field of visual optics. Whether you’re a student, a researcher, or a professional in the field, this book is a must-have resource.
