Double Vision: The Historic Revolution in Eye Care
This entertaining memoir describes with insightful detail and amusing anecdotes how the relatively small profession of optometry took on the medical establishment and succeeded in redefining and improving US eye care.
Along the way it underwent a metamorphosis that transformed its services and status—and made it a beacon for women seeking a career in health care.
The author is a well-known professor emeritus at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry, who practiced both optometry and law over the years described in the book.
In the Foreward, retired UAB Optometry Dean Dr. John Amos writes “This memoir should be read by anyone wishing to understand eye care, particularly primary eye care. It is especially recommended to optometry students, residents, and practitioners regardless of age…it imparts a level of understanding that would be difficult to obtain otherwise.”
