Written in a concise, practical, outline manner, Manual of Contact Lens Prescribing and Fitting, 3rd Edition follows the logical progression of patient care, from basic prefitting topics, through rigid lens, soft lenses and advanced/specialty issues. Valuable management information assists in fitting and problem-solving situations, and clinical pearls in every chapter highlight key points.

- Covers both rigid and soft contact lenses.
- Enhances the reader's understanding through video and animation on the CD-ROM.
- Begins with prefitting topics and ends with specialty topics, progressing logically as the optometrist would care for the patient.

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.
