Review
"Some of the photographs are superb illustrating not only the types of pathology that one expects to find in a book associated with contact lenses, but also some excellent pictures of the contact lenses themselves. From protein to lipid deposits through surface plaques and scratched and broken rigid lenses, this book provides a real practitioner s eyeview through the slit lamp.
