  The Manual is designed as an essentially practical guide to all aspects of contact lens fitting. It follows the authors' own approach to patient management, initial assessment and lens selection as well as giving detailed fitting procedures for both basic and complex lenses. Significant space is allocated to aftercare as this is considered an inextricably linked continuation of fitting, whereas theoretical aspects have been kept deliberately concise, supplemented by detailed references and suggestions for further reading. The introductory chapters and basic fitting are directed mainly at the student or practitioner without recent experience. The Manual , however, also covers advanced fitting techniques for the more experienced and the specialist sections in therapeutic lenses and the management of children requiring contact lenses should be of interest both to hospital fitters and to those who encounter the occasional medical case.
