A case study illustrates how advancements in specialty lens design can restore functional vision in keratoconus patients.

1

The patient presented with advanced keratoconus and was fitted with specialized rigid gas permeable lenses for improved vision.
2

Corneal tomography revealed severe keratoconus, particularly in the right eye, which had no central vision due to toxoplasmosis.
3

Intralimbal GP lenses improved the patient's functional peripheral vision, allowing her to perceive sharper frames during exams.
4

By 2019, contact lens wear was contraindicated for the right eye due to low corneal pachymetry and risk to corneal integrity.
5

The case illustrates the evolution of lens technology from GP designs to scleral lenses, enhancing functional vision in patients.
