Contact Lens Practice, 2nd Edition

Thoroughly revised and updated, this popular book provides a comprehensive yet easy to read guide to modern contact lens practice. Beautifully re-designed in a clean, contemporary layout, this second edition presents relevant and up-to-date information in a systematic manner, with a logical flow of subject matter from front to back.\ud \ud This book wonderfully captures the ‘middle ground’ in the contact lens field … somewhere between a dense research-based tome and a basic fitting guide. As such, it is ideally suited for both students and general eye care practitioners who require a practical, accessible and uncluttered account of the contact lens field.\ud \ud Contents\ud \ud Part 1 Introduction\ud Historical perspective.\ud The anterior eye\ud Visual optics\ud Clinical instruments\ud \ud Part 2 Soft contact lenses\ud Soft lens materials\ud Soft lens manufacture\ud Soft lens optics\ud Soft lens measurement\ud Soft lens design and fitting\ud Soft toric lens design and fitting\ud Soft lens care systems\ud \ud Part 3 Rigid contact lenses\ud Rigid lens materials\ud Rigid lens manufacture\ud Rigid lens optics\ud Rigid lens measurement\ud Rigid lens design and fitting\ud Rigid toric lens design and fitting\ud Rigid lens care systems\ud \ud Part 4 Lens replacement modalities\ud Unplanned lens replacement\ud Daily soft lens replacement\ud Planned soft lens replacement\ud Planned rigid lens replacement\ud \ud Part 5 Special lenses and fitting considerations\ud Scleral lenses\ud Tinted lenses\ud Presbyopia\ud Continuous wear\ud Sport\ud Keratoconus\ud High ametropia\ud Paediatric fitting\ud Therapeutic applications\ud Post-refractive Surgery\ud Post-keratoplasty\ud Orthokeratology\ud Diabetes\ud \ud Part 6 Patient examination and management\ud History taking\ud Preliminary examination\ud Patient education\ud Aftercare\ud Complications\ud Digital imaging\ud Compliance\ud Practice management\ud \ud Appendices\ud Inde
