Reviews
REVIEWS OF THE PREVIOUS EDITION: "Optometric students ... will want to read this one cover to cover. [...] Sections within each chapter titled "Rules of Thumb" and "Practical Advice" enable one to make easy reference to the most clinically relevant information. Specialty contact lens topics are well-covered in this text. Toric hard and soft lens patient selection and design are described with specific examples that help to provide the reader with hands-on knowledge. This book's layout and careful consideration of the thought processes which one must use in becoming an expert contact lens practitioner are what separates this one form many other comprehensive contact lens manuals." Journal of American Optometric Association "The format is an intensely practical, hands-on guide to fitting all lens types, from straightforward sphericals through to sealed sclerals. There are 32 chapters plus an appendix and glossary, as well as a comprehensive index. Each chapter is punctuated with different boxes containing practical advice, general advice, rules of thumb and warnings. I particularly liked this feature which, on the whole, encapsulates valuable information for both the student and even the more experienced practitioner. Unlike most textbooks, it would be quite possible to pick up this book and read it from cover to cover. In fact, I can recommend it." Optometry Today
