Index

“…a comprehensive, detailed review of specialty contact lenses… The book is helpful for students and residents who are just starting to gain experience in specialty contact lenses, but it is also a useful review for doctors who have dealt with these lenses for long periods… The quality of this book is superb, and it will become a staple textbook in the field of contact lenses. It is extremely useful for anyone learning about or interested in fitting specialty contact lenses, and it offers insight into applications that are often overlooked during brief reviews of the subject. I highly recommend this book to anyone who works or spends time in a clinic that fits contact lenses so that they can recognize when specialty contact lenses could be used and potentially feel comfortable fitting the lenses themselves.”
