Based on a highly successful series published in "Optician", this book will be invaluable to all contact lens practitioners and students. It includes over 300 full colour illustrations including numerous schematic diagrams to help you understand disease processes. A unique, rapid-reference tabular summary of all complications at the beginning of the book works as an aid to establishing a quick diagnosis. Numerous practical reference tools are included to help you, such as grading scales for contact lens complications and a classification system for tear film appearances. All material is organised the way you will see it in the clinic - by slit lamp appearance and tissue pathologies. Included is a fully interactive CD-ROM, which: contains grading morph movie sequences of contact lens complications. It allows you to adopt a semi-automated system for comparing and grading the most common complications. It provides a unique way of visualising the progression of complications from the most minor to the most severe. It can be integrated into computer-based record keeping systems or used as a 'stand alone' tool. It will serve as a magnificent teaching and self-learning aid.
