This book from Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Dr. Ajay Kumar Bhootra, covering clinical refraction (नेत्र अपवर्तन) — the examination that determines a patient's refractive error and the spectacle or contact lens correction for it. It is written as a manual and guide rather than a theoretical optics textbook, aimed at both seasoned practitioners and aspiring professionals.
Refraction is a skill before it is a subject, and this book is organised accordingly. It begins with a dedicated focus on the fundamentals, with the initial chapters explaining each essential component of the clinical refraction process in turn, so that a student is not asked to perform a procedure before understanding what each step is measuring. From there it moves into practical application — the working sequence of retinoscopy and subjective refraction, the near addition, the cross cylinder, the handling of astigmatism, and the judgement involved in converting a refraction result into a prescription that a patient will actually tolerate.
That last part is where the book differs from a purely academic text. The author blends theoretical depth with practical application and personal insight drawn from practice, so the reader is equipped to handle real vision correction decisions rather than only textbook cases. Dr. Ajay Kumar Bhootra is a well-known author in Indian optometry, also known for Optician's Guide. This third edition runs to 400 pages. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.

जेपी ब्रदर्स मेडिकल पब्लिशर्स द्वारा प्रकाशित डॉ. अजय कुमार भूतड़ा की 'A Manual of Clinical Refraction Guide' का यह तीसरा संस्करण नेत्र अपवर्तन (clinical refraction) पर केंद्रित व्यावहारिक मार्गदर्शिका है — यह केवल सैद्धांतिक ऑप्टिक्स पाठ्यपुस्तक नहीं है। अपवर्तन मूलतः एक कौशल है, अतः पुस्तक का आरंभ मूल अवधारणाओं से होता है और प्रारंभिक अध्यायों में क्लिनिकल रिफ़्रैक्शन प्रक्रिया के प्रत्येक आवश्यक घटक को क्रमशः समझाया गया है। आगे रेटिनोस्कोपी एवं सब्जेक्टिव रिफ़्रैक्शन का कार्य-क्रम, दृष्टिवैषम्य (astigmatism), क्रॉस सिलिंडर तकनीक, निकट दृष्टि हेतु एडिशन तथा जाँच के परिणामों को व्यावहारिक चश्मा प्रिस्क्रिप्शन में परिवर्तित करने का विवेक सम्मिलित है। पुस्तक में सैद्धांतिक गहराई, व्यावहारिक अनुप्रयोग तथा लेखक के क्लिनिकल अनुभव का समन्वय है, जिससे पाठक वास्तविक रोगियों की दृष्टि सुधार संबंधी समस्याओं को आत्मविश्वास के साथ संभाल सके। यह संस्करण 400 पृष्ठों का है। ध्यान दें: यह पुस्तक पूर्णतः अंग्रेज़ी भाषा एवं रोमन लिपि में है, हिन्दी में नहीं।
