Product Description

so close! 
I went to a lecture by Dr. Barr (one of the authors), and he discussed this book. I find it to be very general, and to be a good review of keratoconus information. There's not much about actually fitting keratoconus patients, as far as choosing base curves, lens types, etc.
Decent, but not as specific as I would like.

Amazon needs to spell keratoconus correctly in the title! 
Good to see a book covering this topic even though I've yet to read it
