Description

A contact lens is a thin, curved lens placed on the film of tears that covers the surface of your eye. The lens itself is naturally clear, but is often given the slightest tinge of color to make them easier for wearers to handle. Today’s contact lenses are either hard or soft. Most people wear the latter form now, but it wasn’t too long ago that contact lenses were even glass blown! This comprehensive text and reference addresses the full scope of contemporary contact lens science and practice. With the expert author. The book presents practitioners and students in optometry and ophthalmology with key facts on corneal anatomy, recent research, contact lens design, patient evaluation, clinical applications, patient education, and complications of contact lens wear. Contact Lenses: An Introductory will be the standard text for required contact lens courses and will be an invaluable everyday reference for practitioners.
