First sentence: Contact lenses can be classified by the nature of the material from which they are made, by their wearing schedule, by their purpose, or by their design.
Description: Brings together the insight and experience of an ophthalmologist and an optometrist with the clinical experience and practical knowledge of the full spectrum of eye care professionals. Secondly, the book takes the old-fashioned approach of a primer with modern accessibility of FAQs. In both the authorship and the editorial approach, the book provides ophthalmology residents, optometry students, practitioners in both fields beginning or returning to contact lens practice, and technicians and assistants working in contact lens practices with the best of all possible tools. The first half of the book walks the reader through the fundamentals of contact lens practice. The rest of the chapters cover therapeutic, cosmetic, and post-surgical lenses, as well as complications, infection control and HIV/AIDS related issues.
