new in the 3rd edition

Milton and I, and all the contributors, have written lots of new material for this new 2006 edition: - 5 new chapters patient selection, contact lens optics, soft contact lenses and the tear film, pediatric contact lenses, colored lenses - all new CD-ROM, with hundreds of video-clips - some of the CD-ROM multimedia sections are all-new, never before seen in any textbook! Such as the new "Fit this patient" interactive section in the Gas-Permeable Lens Fluorescein Patterns. Also the Clinical examination techniques, showing clinical use of the slitlamp biomicroscope, keratometer, tearscope, retinoscope, vertometer, radiuscope, and tonometer. The soft lenses and the tear film chapter aims to give the clinician "the keys" in fitting and prescribing soft lenses for best patient comfort.
