This new edition is a concise guide to contact lens fitting for
optometrists and trainees. Beginning with an introduction to
contact lenses and the pre-contact lens fitting eye examination,
making sure a patient is suitable for wearing contact lenses, the
following chapters describe the fitting of different types of
corrective lenses - soft, toric and rigid gas permeable. Separate
chapters examine the use of therapeutic contact lenses, used to
protect the eye whilst it heals after injury or infection, rather
than to correct vision; and lenses for presbyopia, age-related
long-sightedness. The second edition has been fully revised to
provide clinicians with the latest information in the field, and
also includes a new chapter on 'Sports and Contact Lenses'. The
text is enhanced by images an illustrations, as well as
problem-solving MCQs, and comprehensive appendices and bibliography
sections. Key points Concise guide to contact lens fitting for
