临床屈光的艺术。由西奥多H。Whittington，医学博士，MRCP，国防部（Pp.第286章：说明30年代）伦敦：北京大学出版社. 1958.不是每个人都能写出完美的书。吹毛求疵的评论家总是能找到一些遗漏的东西，一些与他自己不同的技术，或者一些本可以更好地呈现的插图。这本书满足了一个经常被违反的标准--它是以一种非常令人愉快的形式写的。此外，案例的历史给出的解释，澄清，并在某些情况下，增加文本。一个非常明显的特点是，折射原理的描述没有公式的多样性，使这样的沉重去在一些书籍。惠廷顿非常彻底地涵盖了验光师直接关心的眼科学的所有部分。他表现出了很强的克制力，没有让自己陷入冗长的讨论中，讨论那些必然要考虑的同源主题。通过适当注意他对镜片作为视觉辅助工具的局限性和正确使用的明确阐述，许多陷阱将被避免，否则只能从一长串不满意的病人那里学到。实际上，折射学中每一种有价值的技术都被很好地描述了。也许初学者可能会对病人可能接受的无数检查感到头晕目眩，并想知道他们如何适应通常分配给验光的时间。出于这个原因，这是一本更有价值的书，一个人已经得到了一个公平的工作熟悉的主题，并有临床知识，能够选择那些调查是密切相关的每一个病人的问题。对于这样的书是优秀的，并会发现充满了良好的常识和实用的建议。它不应该被那些自满的临床医生所购买，他们认为验光只是一个需要尽快克服的难题。
CLINICAL REFRACTION The Art of Clinical Refraction. By Theodore H. Whittington, M.D., M.R.C.P., D.O.M.S. (Pp. 286+ vii; illustrated. 30s.) London: Oxford University Press. 1958. It is not given to everyone to write the perfect book. The carping reviewer can always find something that is left out, some technique that differs from his own, or some illustration which could have been better presented. This book fulfils one criterion which is so often transgressed-it is written in a very agreeable form. Furthermore, case histories are given which exemplify, clarify, and, in some instances, augment the text. A very noticeable feature is that the principles of refraction are described without the multiplicity of formulae which makes such heavy going in some books. Whittington covers very thoroughly all that part of ophthalmology of imrmediate concern to the refractionist. He shows able restraint in not allowing himself to be carried away into lengthy discussion on cognate subjects which, of necessity, have to be considered. By due attention to his clear exposition of the limitations and the proper use of lenses as visual aids many pitfalls will be avoided which otherwise can only be learnt from a long series of dissatisfied patients. Practically every technique of any value in refraction is well and ably described. Perhaps the beginner might be dazed by the innumerable examinations to which a patient can be subjected, and wonder how they can be fitted into the usual time allotted for a refraction. For this reason it is a book of more value to one who has already got a fair working acquaintance with the subject and has the clinical knowledge to be able to select those investigations which are germane to each patient's problems. For such the book is excellent and will be found to be full of good common sense and practical advice. It should not be bought by the self-satisfied clinician who regards a refraction as just one more dhore to be got over as quickly as possible.
