The new 2014 edition of the extremely popular ABDO College publication Ophthalmic Lenses Availability has increased in size to over 400 pages of essential lens information that will be invaluable to anyone dealing with spectacle lenses, whether they are in the optical profession, a student or within the industry. No other publication or service brings together this amount of lens information into one place.

At around £1 per week each year this popular and informative publication represents very good value for any practice or optical laboratory.
