Glasses prescribing

[ophth07]

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!

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.
