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 are: 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; 8 new grading scales (now 16 in total) that form the basis of the most comprehensive grading system available today; free grading morphs and self-help grading tutor computer programmes available on CD-ROM included, to help you hone your grading skills; and, tear film classification system.
