Contact Lenses in Ophthalmic Practice 2004th Edition (2004) by Mark J. Mannis PDF

 

Ebook Info

  • Format: PDF
  • File Size: 5.86 MB
  • Authors: Mark J. Mannis

Description

Even with the advances in intraocular lens technology and the growing diversity of refractive surgery techniques, the role of contact lenses in ophthalmic practice has only increased. This is due in part to the great strides in materials, technology, expanding applications (both refractive and therapeutic) for contact lenses, and the clear recognition that contact lenses will always be an important tool for the ophthalmologist. With the fitting of contact lenses as a medical art, requiring a thorough understanding of anatomy, physiology and optics of the eye, this practice is formulaic only in part. The rest of contact lens practice requires sound medical judgment and decision- making that comes only with “hands-on” experience. The authors address this need by starting with a didactic approach that incorporates frequently-asked questions and straightforward answers so that the ophthalmology resident, intermediate contact lens practitioner, and optometrist will find this to be an indispensable resource.

⭐The book was filthy when I got it, the front cover was covered in dirt and the corners were partially ripped. Waste of money, spend the $10 extra to buy from a better seller.

Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Poor image quality due to the books being printed in copy paper and not gloss paper. This is quite an expensive 2 volume book set and a big reason people buy these expensive textbooks is for the images that demonstrate certain pathology. I would recommend that these books be printed in gloss paper like Kanski and Yanoff ophthalmology. This textbook set is much more expensive but of a lesser quality. That does not make sense.

⭐Can’t underline with pencil .
