Abstract
PROF. VON ROHR has directed the Jena school of opticians for many years, and the treatise now before us is a completely revised edition of his book, “Die Brille als optisches Instrument”. It is therefore of great interest to all interested in ophthalmic optics. Apart from some introductory remarks on spectacle lenses for special purposes, the book is divided into four main parts. The first deals with anastigmatic lenses, some attention being paid to toric and to prismatic lenses. The second portion treats the problems of astigmatic lenses, and the third those of chromatic aberration. The mathematical treatment is easy to follow and graphs are effectively used. The last main section discusses problems of the alterations in field conditions produced by lenses.
