This easy-to-follow book presents the fundamentals of how to measure vision and visual function. It offers a solid understanding of the neural basis of vision where it is known or can be deduced.
- Each chapter features an overview summarizing the chapter, declarative headings throughout for instant review, study guide questions, and a glossary.
- Explanations of the neural mechanisms underlying visual function help readers understand how vision is measured.
- It details the scientific basis of how visual function is measured and applies laboratory measurement to clinical procedures.
