Review Quotes:

"An intriguing biography of the life of Dr. Newton K. Wesley. A must-read for anyone interested in optometry, eyecare, contact lenses and US History during the pre- and post-WWII era." -Dr. Mark K. Colip, OD, President, Illinois College of Optometry


"Newton Wesley has found a sensitive and sympathetic, but not entirely uncritical, biographer in his son Roy. Well-researched and always conscious of its broader context, Invisible Vision is an inspiring story." -Thomas Hamm, PhD, Professor of History, Curator of the Quaker Collection and Director of Special Collections at Earlham College
