To evaluate the effectiveness of customized soft contact lenses in managing keratoconus, particularly for patients intolerant to rigid lenses.
Approach:
Case Description: A 55-year-old patient with bilateral keratoconus and intolerance to rigid GP lenses was refitted with customized soft contact lenses after a washout period.
Lens Fitting: Customized ARC soft contact lenses were fitted, achieving visual acuity of 0.9 in both eyes, with improved comfort and stability.
Key Findings:
Customized soft lenses provided visual acuity comparable to rigid GP lenses.
The lenses demonstrated excellent stability and minimal movement.
Patients reported significantly improved comfort and satisfaction.
Limitations:
The study is based on a single case report, limiting generalizability.
