Contact Lens Fitting in Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a progressive, non-inflammatory, asymmetric ectatic corneal disorder that results in high amount of myopia and astigmatic refractive error. Early cases may be managed by spectacles; however, the definitive management is use of contact lens. In the mild stage, soft toric contact lens m...

| description | Keratoconus is a progressive, non-inflammatory, asymmetric ectatic corneal disorder that results in high amount of myopia and astigmatic refractive error. Early cases may be managed by spectacles; however, the definitive management is use of contact lens. In the mild stage, soft toric contact lens may be used. In the moderate and advanced cases, rigid gas permeable contact lens is the mainstay of treatment of these cases. Rose-k contact lenses have now become the contact lens of choice in these cases; however, the SOPER design is also very useful for management in these cases. Some cases may require piggyback and scleral lenses for better stability of the lens, and improved visual acuity and comfort to the patient. |
