DESCRIPTION:
"A great guide for contact lenses!" according to Joanna. Great guide for anyone in the contact lens industry! This book has extremely useful tips for evaluating contact lenses. This has helped me troubleshoot hard to fit soft contact lenses! I wish there were more visual aides, a picture of troubleshooting examples so it would be easier to visualize .. Great resource for contact lens fitters Great resource for contact lens fitters. I wish I had purchased the hard copy instead of the digital version. I feel like I'm missing out what the CD contains if you bought the book. Overall it has good clinical information for Eye Care Professional.. Wouldn't recommend JacqTX Did not enjoy this publication. I was trying get to save money. Poor choice. Buy the Stein version. Go blue.

From the reviews of previous editions:"The format is an intensely practical, hands-on guide to fitting all lens types, from straightforward sphericals through to sealed sclerals… Each chapter is punctuated with different boxes containing practical advice, general advice, rules of thumb and warnings…Unlike most textbooks, it would be quite possible to pick up this book and read it from cover to cover. In fact, I can recommend it." Optometry Today
