From reviews of the first and second editions: 'Read "Visual Perception" by Steven Schwartz, OD! a great tool for preparing for the boards! easy to read! These topics are particularly tough! Schwartz does a good job of explaining them in a concise manner! Many successful Berkeley test-takers swear by this book!' - The Berkeley Guide 2002. 'The author is extremely qualified to write from a perspective combining basic vision science with clinical applications! An excellent textbook for classes on visual perception for ophthalmologic clinicians...a detailed account of current methods in the assessment of the visual system, and...very enjoyable reading' - Janet P. Szlyk, PhD - 4 stars from "Doody's Health Science Book Review Journal".'An approachable introduction to the psychology and physiology of visual perception! Schwartz's style is clear and explanatory! Avoids confusing or unsupported statements and unnecessary mathematics' - Michael Harrad, MRCP, FRCOphth -Perception. This leading text provides a solid foundation for courses in visual perception. Featuring hundreds of drawings and photos, it covers the mechanisms and assessment of visual perception for ophthalmologic clinicians and psychologists, in reader-friendly fashion.
