This book considers all aspects of contact lens practice, including basic sciences, clinical practice and eye pathology, fitting techniques and lens design. The various parts of the book are prefaced with linking editorials. There are many areas of controversy in contact lens practice. The editors have therefore given more than one view of certain topics so that the reader may have a balanced account of current knowledge and opinion. For example, one area of particular controversy is the use of contact lenses for extended wear. Although one chapter is specially dedicated to this subject, extensive reference to extended wear is also made in a number of other chapters. The contact lens practitioner should find that all aspects of the topic are dealt with in an encompassing manner. For example, rather than discussing the fitting of soft and rigid toric lenses, the book deals with the correction of astigmatism with soft and rigid lenses, including toric designs.
Similarly, the text is not limited to describing the fitting of bifocal and multifocal lenses, but rather considers the ocular effects associated with aging, and reviews the many modes of correction, including the use of contact lenses.
