The authors successfully combine basic fundamentals with clinical correlations relevant to practice. The second edition explores advances in the design and manufacture of ophthalmic lenses, such as high-index plastic ophthalmic lens materials, aspheric lens designs and the combination of high-index materials and aspheric lens designs, and plastic photochromic lenses. The student will find valuable explanations of new progressive-addition lens designs, advances in ultraviolet radiation protection, and new designs in ophthalmic lenses for computer use.
