Quite, but the reasoning we use is different 
If you want a more... laymanable design-related book, Bentley's Field Guide To Lens Design is good. It's still meant for engineers, but it is intended to be something you can open for a quick reference to general issues than something you open for the issues that result in a disparity between what Code V or Zemax computed and what will really happen, or when aberrations are not centered in the pupil, for example.
