Product Details

Product Description

Book Description

A concise clinical resource for the contact lens practitioner on the diagnosis and management of keratoconus. Evaluation and fitting of the patient with contact lenses is covered in detail, as are guidelines to determine if the patient would benefit from a corneal transplant to correct the bulging of the cornea and improve visual acuity.

From the Publisher

Keratoconus is a developmental problem in which the central portion of the cornea becomes thinner and bulges forward in a cone-shaped fashion. Correction is usually best achieved with contact lenses, but if these cannot be worn or if the condition is severe, a corneal transplant is carried out. This compact manual gives the most current clinical findings for management of keratoconus patients.Keratoconus is a developmental problem in which the central portion of the cornea becomes thinner and bulges forward in a cone-shaped fashion.

3.0 out of 5 stars so close!, Mar 17 2006
By A. Bissell "eyedoc13" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Diagnosis, Contact Lens Prescribing, and Care of the Keratoconus Patient (Paperback)
I went to a lecture by Dr. Barr (one of the authors), and he discussed this book. I find it to be very general, and to be a good review of keratoconus information. There's not much about actually fitting keratoconus patients, as far as choosing base curves, lens types, etc.

Decent, but not as specific as I would like.
