This is a practical guide for ophthalmologists to fitting all types of contact lenses under all types of conditions. Following an introductory section on patient and lens selection, it discusses methods for fitting specific lenses, with a special focus on the rigid gas permeable lens. The book features a series of contact lens tables, with vertex distance conversion, as well as sagittal depth tables. Two conditions must be satisfied for successful fitting: how the patient sees and how the lenses feel.
