The textbook is comprehensive and considers all aspects of contact lens practice, including basic sciences, clinical practice and eye pathology, fitting techniques and lens design.
In it, leading clinicians discuss the examination of the patient, fitting of the lenses, and modifications of the lenses, in addition to the physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and applied optics of contact lenses.
This book has been designed as a useful reference for all contact lens practitioners. By preparing a compact summary, the authors have attempted to bridge the gap between other textbooks and alternatives which are either too comprehensive or too superficial.
This book can serve as a teaching manual for the practicing ophthalmologist and the resident, enabling them to fit and prescribe extended wear contact lenses wisely in the management of their cataract patiens.
