Basic Facts for Basic Science

Overall, this outstanding text should soon become recognized as the definitive reference for the diagnosis and management of ocular trauma. The tall, narrow shape of Basic Facts for Basic Science suggests that perhaps the author intended that it be put into the pocket of one's lab coat; perhaps not, but this book is certainly appropriate for the shelf of any laboratory and for the office of any...

How basic is basic science?

Some other possible conclusions come easily to mind. Perhaps, if we’re really concerned about students’ learning evidence-based medicine, then we should teach it more or better. On the other hand I am one of many who have joined the anti-EBM movement (Norman 1999). In my view, the fundamental irony remains that, even though it made the BMJ’s ‘‘Top 15 Medical Innovations of all Time’’ list in 20...

Aberrometry: basic science and clinical applications.

This paper addresses the concept, measurement and applications of wave aberrations. The ocular optics is not perfect. Apart from conventional low order aberrations (such as defocus and astigmatism) retinal images are degraded by other high order aberrations. Aberrometers typically measure ray deviations at the retinal plane, as a function of pupil position, i.e. local derivatives of the wave ab...
