    A very good informative course for the contact lens users as well as the professionals.
    Those who are using contact lenses , I think it's very important to know about the right procedure to use the contract lenses and they should have to know the complications & management of it.
    So it's very important to know all about contact lenses before using it.
    I prefer that every users & professionals should learn about this.
