Berkeley Optometry-A History offers a lively and revealing exploration into the origins and evolution of the School of Optometry at the University of California, Berkeley. The early years of struggle for the profession of optometry and the school are discussed in fascinating detail, including a remarkable sixteen-year campaign to establish a curriculum in optometry at Berkeley. Legislative battles and conflicts with ophthalmology are also presented. Later years include profiles of Berkeley Optometry&#8217;s faculty and alumni who have enviable records of accomplishment in clinical training and professional service, and equally impressive achievements in research. Much of the history is told in the words of those who lived it, through correspondence and published materials, from the late nineteenth century to the modern period, as well as quotations from recorded interviews in recent years.
