Contact Lens Practice, 4th Edition, edited by Professor Nathan Efron, is a textbook detailing contact lens optics, lens manufacturing, and clinical patient management. The volume offers structured instructional material covering anterior eye anatomy, visual optics, geometric lens measurements, and physical properties of soft and rigid lens materials.
Early sections guide readers through physical lens evaluation, design parameters, and standard fitting procedures for soft and rigid toric lens corrections. The thematic coverage expands to daily disposable modalities, reusable lens systems, presbyopia options, and specialized clinical applications including orthokeratology, myopia control strategies, pediatric lens fitting, and keratoconus management.
Selected for inclusion in the 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Optometry, this work supports optometry students, practicing optometrists, ophthalmologists, orthoptists, opticians, and contact lens industry professionals. The text integrates theoretical optical concepts with routine lens care systems, preliminary examination workflows, and clinical infection control protocols.
