In this thoroughly revised and updated third edition of Contact Lens Practice, award-winning author, researcher and lecturer, Professor Nathan Efron, provides a comprehensive, evidence-based overview of the scientific foundation and clinical applications of contact lens fitting. The text has been refreshed by the inclusion of ten new authors - a mixture of scientists and clinicians, all of whom are at the cutting edge of their specialty. The chapters are highly illustrated in full colour and subject matter is presented in a clear and logical format to allow the reader to quickly hone in the desired information.
Ideal for an optometrist, ophthalmologist, orthoptist, optician, student, or work in the industry, this book will serve as an essential companion and guide to current thinking and practice in the contact lens field.
Expert Consult eBook version included with purchase. This enhanced eBook experience allows you to search all of the text, figures, images, videos, and references from the book on a variety of devices.
Highlights of this edition include a new chapter on myopia control contact lenses, as well are completely rewritten chapters, by new authors, on keratoconus, orthokeratology, soft and rigid lens measurement and history taking.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Overall, Contact Lens Practice is an essential resource for all optometry students, contact lens educators, and practitioners seeking an up to date reference that combines the latest science with practical clinical pearls." -- Clinical and Experimental Optometry, September 2017
"Well written chapters cover, among other things, history, anatomy, physiology, optics, soft and hard lenses, manufacture, care systems as well as sclerals, compliance, modalities and speciality lenses. Nathan has solicited contributions from a wide range of world leaders who have excelled in sharing their love, passion and expertise in the fantastic area of contact lenses. Nicely done, one and all. Add it to your library." -- MiVision, August 2017
