Contact lenses in irregular cornea: What is the key?
Augusto Rosse
General manager at Perfect Vision, Chile
F
or many years irregular cornea patients have been a real challenge, because soft lenses give comfort, but not good vision,
therefore soft contact lenses couldn’t be adapted. On the other hand rigid gas permeable contact lenses were a solution
only for a little segment of those patients due the discomfort and poor corneal health. Today we are living the best moment in
history of contact lenses and patient with irregular cornea are the ones with more benefits considering the whole segment of
people with trouble vision. The last 8 years I have had the opportunity to attend so many patients with bad life quality, because
they have dropped out theirs RGP lenses due to injuries or extreme discomfort. All the cases have been solved fitting scleral
lenses and special soft contact lens in SiHy materials. My presentation is going to show the many successful cases solved, giving
comfort, good visual acuity and ocular health.
