This new edition of the Handbook of Visual Optics, Volume Two, presents an authoritative survey of modern ophthalmic instrumentation, vision-correction technologies, and the optical foundations of visual performance. Building upon the theoretical framework established in Volume One, it explores the science and technology of advanced imaging systems, laser-based diagnostics, adaptive-optics platforms, and surgical and corrective devices, which have transformed clinical practice over the past decade. This revised edition incorporates new developments in optical coherence tomography, multiphoton imaging, and adaptive optics, as well as innovative approaches to intraocular lenses and refractive correction. It integrates contributions from leading experts across optics, engineering, and vision science to provide both depth of understanding and practical relevance for researchers, clinicians, and students. Key Features:Comprehensive coverage of modern ophthalmic instrumentation, including optical coherence tomography, adaptive optics, multiphoton imaging, and photorefraction techniquesExpanded sections on vision correction, featuring new chapters on peripheral optics in intraocular lenses, nonlinear surgical optics, and emerging refractive technologiesBridges research and clinical application, combining rigorous optical principles with state-of-the-art tools for imaging, diagnosis, and correction of visual defects

Pablo Artal is Full Professor of Optics at the University of Murcia (Spain), where he founded and directs the Laboratorio de Óptica. He received his PhD in Physics from the University Complutense of Madrid and carried out postdoctoral research at the Institut d’Optique, Université de Paris-Sud (Orsay, France) and Cambridge University. Before joining the University of Murcia in 1994, he was Senior Research Scientist at the Instituto de Óptica, CSIC (Madrid, Spain). He has also been Visiting Professor at the University of Rochester (Rochester, USA) and the University of New South Wales, Sydney (Australia), and is currently Distinguished Visiting Professor at Central South University (Changsha, China). Professor Artal’s research focuses on the optics of the eye and retina, visual performance, and the development of advanced optical and electronic imaging technologies for vision science, ophthalmology, and biomedicine. He has pioneered highly innovative methods for studying the eye’s optics and has contributed fundamentally to understanding the optical and neural factors limiting human vision. Several of his inventions have been translated into clinical ophthalmic instruments now in widespread use. He has authored over 450 peer-reviewed papers, which have received more than 28000 citations (h-index = 90, Google Scholar), delivered over 200 invited lectures and 150 institutional seminars, and supervised more than 45 PhD theses and 25 postdoctoral fellows. He is co-inventor on 30 international patents and cofounder of four technology companies, including Visiometrics SL and Voptica SL, which have commercialized innovative diagnostic and visual simulation devices. Professor Artal is a Fellow of OPTICA (OSA), ARVO, SPIE, and the European Optical Society. His contributions have been recognized with numerous national and international awards, including the Edwin H. Land Medal (OSA/IS&T, 2013), the King Jaime I Award in New Technologies (2015), the National Spanish Research Award “Juan de la Cierva” (2018), the Edgar D. Tillyer Award (OSA, 2019), and the Medal of the Spanish Royal Physics Society (2021). He has also received two European Research Council (ERC) grants: an Advanced Grant in 2014 and a Proof-of-Concept Grant in 2020.
