Reviews

The guide is written for everyone in the vision care community, but specifically those in training (i.e., students, residents.) ... This book is filled with great diagrams, figures, and tables. ... As a reference guide to introductory knowledge of optometry, this book could be a worthwhile addition to a student's library. (Tyler Kitzman, Doody's Book Reviews, August 21, 2020)

Author Information

Dr Gunnar Schmidtmann is a lecturer in Optometry and joined the University of Plymouth in September 2017. Between 2009 and 2013, he completed a PhD in visual neuroscience at Glasgow Caledonian University (Scotland). For his postgraduate studies, he investigated aspects of shape and contour perception. He continued with this line of research as a postdoctoral research fellow at the McGill Vision Research Unit at McGill University (Montreal, Canada) between 2013 and 2016. He subsequently joined the Laboratory for Integrative Neuroscience at McGill University to investigate the visual functions of patients with traumatic brain injuries and stroke; research that involved the application of brain imaging techniques. His research interests range from computational modeling of the human visual system to understand shape perception to face perception, and clinical studies on the consequences of traumatic brain injuries on visual function.
