Foreword
It is indeed a privilege to write the foreword to such a useful textbook as Ocular and Visual Physiology will become. Most texts on visual physiology are large, complex, and detailed. There is a pressing need for a book that gets to the heart of ocular and visual physiology and provides the student and clinician with the core knowledge in a relevant and practical way. This text succeeds admirably being the result of many hours of careful, painstaking writing that distils complex areas of ocular and visual physiology into the important principles required by the reader. Its author is well placed to write such a text on ocular and visual physiology. Dr Skalicky has been associated with the Save Sight Institute, Sydney Medical School and Sydney Eye Hospital at many levels. He has been a master’s of ophthalmic science student, then a tutor in this course, an ophthalmology trainee, and the professorial senior registrar. Following fellowship training in glaucoma in Cambridge, he has returned and is currently a clinical senior lecturer in the discipline of ophthalmology. He has lectured for many years in our master’s course on visual physiology. He is currently completing his PhD at the University of Sydney. Ocular and Visual Physiology is up to date, based on the author’s experience as a student, an ophthalmologist, a researcher, and a tea
