Contact Lens Practice, 3rd Edition

The constantly evolving field of contact lens practice provides an ongoing challenge to eye care practitioners and students to keep up to date with latest developments and thinking in the field. 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.

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. A new section on the newly-described condition ‘lid wiper epitheliopathy’ is also presented in an updated chapter on contact lens complications.

Whether you are 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.
