The Basic Bookshelf for Eyecare Professionals is a series that provides fundamental and advanced material with a clinical approach to clinicians and students. A special effort was made to include information needed for the certification exams in ophthalmic and optometric assisting, low vision, surgical assisting, opticianry, and contact lens examiners.

This book was written by a licensed dispensing optician for the express purpose of teaching optometric and ophthalmic assistants everything they need to know about frames and lenses. Ophthalmic frames are discussed in great detail, including basic principles, materials, special adaptations, and selection. Fitting and dispensing instructions are also included to help you satisfy your patients and customers.
