Index
From the reviews of previous editions:
"The format is an intensely practical, hands-on guide to fitting
all lens types, from straightforward sphericals through to sealed
sclerals. Each chapter is punctuated with different boxes
containing practical advice, general advice, rules of thumb and
warnings.Unlike most textbooks, it would be quite possible to pick
up this book and read it from cover to cover. In fact, I can
recommend it." Optometry Today
