From the Publisher

This highly regarded manual now includes a CD-ROM featuring over 40 video, morphing, and animation segments that accurately represent real situations. The CD-ROM provides students with a head start on how to fit contact lenses before actually treating patients. You can repeat or stop segments at any time to examine the image more closely, an ability particularly helpful when viewing fluorescein patterns to evaluate contact lens fit. The second edition includes eight new chapters and covers the uses of lenses in orthokeratology and refractive surgery. Used together, the manual and CD-ROM provide the most comprehensive resource on prescribing and fitting of all types of contact lenses. Students and practitioners alike will improve their evaluation and fitting skills using this unique tool.

This review is from: Manual of Contact Lens Prescribing and Fitting with CD-ROM (Paperback)

Milton and I, and all the contributors, have written lots of new material for this new 2006 edition:
- 5 new chapters patient selection, contact lens optics, soft contact lenses and the tear film, pediatric contact lenses, colored lenses
- all new CD-ROM, with hundreds of video-clips
- some of the CD-ROM multimedia sections are all-new, never before seen in any textbook! Such as the new "Fit this patient" interactive section in the Gas-Permeable Lens Fluorescein Patterns. Also the Clinical examination techniques, showing clinical use of the slitlamp biomicroscope, keratometer, tearscope, retinoscope, vertometer, radiuscope, and tonometer. The soft lenses and the tear film chapter aims to give the clinician "the keys" in fitting and prescribing soft lenses for best patient comfort.

I ordered this book for my sister. When my sister got it the book was not original. It was a Photo Copy of the original . I was very surprised when I saw it that way. Wonder why it got sent that way. Isn't it a copyright violation to do that ?
