This balanced, critical, and contemporary text appraises the very latest research information on the treatment of common anterior segment conditions with ocular therapeutics. With a range of international contributors, the book adopts a practice-based approach by reviewing the diagnosis and management of common anterior segment complications whether due to infection or allergy. It covers the pathogenesis of disease processes and includes basic pharmacology giving the practitioner valuable background information. Sitting somewhere between a reference work and a practical manual, this is an invaluable text for all optometrists, particularly those involved in contact lens practice.
