The authors successfully combine basic fundamentals with clinical correlations relevant to practice. The second edition explores advances in the design and manufacture of ophthalmic lenses, such as highindex plastic ophthalmic lens materials, aspheric lens designs and the combination of highindex materials and aspheric lens designs, and plastic photochromic lenses. The student will find valuable explanations of new progressiveaddition lens designs, advances in ultraviolet radiation protection, and new designs in ophthalmic lenses for computer use.* Covers a broad range of information through clear explanations, diagrams, and clinical applications* Successfully combines basic fundamentals with clinical correlations* Explores advances in the design and manufacture of ophthalmic lenses
