what is your favorite book about prescribing glasses? Google suggested "the fine art of glasses prescribing without making a spectacle of yourself". Is that a good one or any better resources out there? I want to learn the little nuances that they don't really talk about in residency. Thanks!

LOL that is such a "dad joke" type title.

It might be worthwhile to ask the optometrists what references they use. To my understanding, this is a larger part of their training compared to ophthalmology's.
