It is most appropriate for researchers in visual optics and those involved in the design and testing of ophthalmic and optometric instrumentation. Trainees seeking a deeper understanding of the eye’s physiological optical system would also benefit from reading this text." –EuroTimes (Nov 2017) "This monumental and highly recommended work is a tribute to the irrevocable connection between the visual system (eye and brain) and optics. Outstanding benefits in diagnosing, treating and correcting vision improve lives throughout the world…. Artal and his contributors deftly explain the fundaments of geometrical and physical optics, as well as the anatomy, physiological optics, instrumentation and neuroscience related to vision, in a manner that is clear, comprehensive, modern and historically correct in the attribution of credit. The rigorous text is augmented by full-color graphics, clinical images, tables of clinical data, and extensive references." –Optics & Photonics News (Jul 2017), review by Barry R. Masters About the Author Hear from Dr. Artal at this Q&A session: http://ow.ly/wudA30fLW84 Pablo Artal received his Ph.D. degree in Physics from the University Complutense of Madrid, and was a post-doctoral fellow at the Institut d'Optique, Orsay, France and a senior researcher at the Instituto de Optica in Madrid. He is since 1994 full Professor of Optics at the University of Murcia, Spain. He spent several periods doing collaborative research in laboratories in Europe, Australia and USA. He is a fellow member of the OSA and ARVO. He received the prestigious 2013 Edwin H Land medal award in recognition of his scientific contributions to the advancement of diagnostic and correction alternatives in visual optics. He is the recipient of the exclusive "ERC advanced grant" in 2013. He has published more than 150 reviewed papers that received 5500 citations (h-index: 41), presented more than 150 invited talks in international meetings and around 120 seminars in different research institutions. He is also a co-inventor of 18 international patents in the field of Optics and Ophthalmology. He has pioneered a number of highly innovative advances in the methods for studying the optics of the eye and has contributed substantially to our understanding of the factors that limit human visual resolution. Dr. Artal is a pioneer in exploring the human eye with new technologies and designed new ophthalmic corrections. Several of his proposed solutions and instrument are currently in use in the clinical practice. For example, he co-invented intraocular lenses correcting for the corneal spherical aberration that provides improved quality of vision to millions of patients over the world. Dr. Artal is the founder of Voptica SL a spin-off company developing the concept he invented of adaptive optics vision analyzers. He has been the mentor of many graduate and post-doctoral students. His personal science blog is followed by readers, mostly graduate students and fellow researchers, from around the world. He has been editor of the Journal of the Optical Society of America A and the Journal of Vision. ## Images ![Handbook of Visual Optics, Volume One: Fundamentals and Eye Optics - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51IGzLOyPuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent coverage from basic to the most recent details. This will be a classic! *by P***S on 2 March 2017* The greatest compilation of research on the eye up to now from experts from around the world. A must read for students and researchers.The handbook is organized in two volumes, with five total sections. Volume One begins with an introductory section that gives an exceptional appetizer by two giants of the field: Gerald Westheimer presents an historical account of the field and David Williams explores the near past and the future.The editor, Prof. Artal is one of the leading researchers in the field. He managed to put together an amazing group of scientists. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/77435005-handbook-of-visual-optics-volume-one-fundamentals-and-eye-optics](https://www.desertcart.be/products/77435005-handbook-of-visual-optics-volume-one-fundamentals-and-eye-optics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-11-11*
