If a reference book can ever be a 'good read', then these books are just that. Andrew and Ngaire Franklin bring a great sense of humour to their wealth of knowledge on contact lenses. Their down-to-earth approach embraces an historical perspective - gained only from having been there - as well as some original thinking. For example, the section on the principles of soft lens fitting introduces the reader to the concept of 'squeeze pressure' which describes how the forces generated within a lens may affect the fit and movement on the eye.

The authors urge practitioners to 'read it fast' as contact lens books go out of date so quickly, so that is exactly what practitioners should do.
