Publisher's Synopsis

So popular was the first edition of this book that it had to be reprinted 3 months after it was published. In this eagerly awaited second edition, Nathan Efron presents an updated and expanded practitioner-friendly account of how to identify, understand and manage ocular complications of contact lens wear. With its succinct, easy-to-read style and vast array of superb full-colour schematic diagrams and clinical pictures, practitioners will find this book to be the perfect combination of chair-side manual and authoritative reference.

Features of the second edition:

  • Completely revised and updated, evidence-based approach
  • Expanded and revised 'complications quick-find index' at the beginning of the book as an aid to making a rapid diagnosis.
  • 11 new chapters (now 30 in total) covering a wide range of exciting new topics
  • 300 new references (now 900 in total) as the basis of a thorough evidenced-based approach
  • 150 superb new illustrations (now 425 in total) to assist instant recognition of clinical signs

  • Free grading morphs and self-help grading tutor computer programmes available on CD-ROM included, to help you hone your grading skills
  • Tear film classification system
  • All of the material is organised by the way you see it in the clinic - by slit-lamp appearance and tissue pathologies. As such, this book will be invaluable to all contact lens practitioners and students.
