Objective:

To evaluate the effectiveness of scleral lenses in a patient with keratoconus and assess the need for ongoing monitoring.

Key Findings:
  • Best-corrected vision was 20/60 OD and 20/50 OS with habitual lenses.
  • AS-OCT revealed inadequate central clearance and significant apical bearing over corneal scarring.
  • New lenses improved vision and comfort.
Interpretation:

Ongoing monitoring of keratoconus patients is crucial to assess lens fitting and corneal stability, as changes can lead to complications.

Limitations:
  • Uncertainty whether corneal scarring was due to keratoconus progression or lens fit issues.
  • Follow-up intervals may vary based on individual disease severity.
Conclusion:

Regular follow-up is essential for keratoconus patients to prevent complications and determine the need for interventions like corneal cross-linking.
