 | Atlas of Primary Eyecare Procedures by Linda Casser
Buy new: $110.40 / Used from: $84.23 I haven't really utilized this book much, but what I have seen of it, it is very thorough and clear and has nice animations and charts giving important information, it is a bit pricey and you may be better off borrowing this one when you need it.

 | Geometric, Physical, and Visual Optics by Michael P. Keating
Buy new: $92.63 / Used from: $89.00 Keating is very straightforward and clear with his explanations. Examples and sample problems are very nice. I just wish the pages were of better quality and the artwork was more professional.

 | Visual Perception: A Clinical Orientation by Steven Schwartz
