The Eye in Contact Lens Wear

Ten contributions address such topics as the anatomy of the eyelids, conjunctiva, tears, anterior limbus, contact lens wear and the epithelium, corneal touch thresholds, and corneal swelling and its clinical sequelae. The three remaining contributions are written by Larke's (optometry, U. of Wales, Cardiff) colleagues on the subjects of lens deposition and spoilation, the cornea, and risks and types of infection provoked by contact wear. Twelve pages of color plates include photos and micrographs. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
