Objective:

To evaluate the corneal condition of a patient with high myopia and contact lens wear, focusing on the implications of observed findings.

Key Findings:

• Dimple veiling is caused by small air bubbles under the lens that indent the cornea, allowing NaFl to pool, and is typically brighter and more circular than punctate epithelial erosion (PEE).
• Improving the GP lens fit can resolve dimple veiling, which is not concerning if visual acuity remains unaffected.

Interpretation:

Dimple veiling can indicate a steep fitting relationship of contact lenses, particularly in patients with irregular corneas, and may require lens fitting adjustments.

Limitations:

• The findings are based on a single patient case and may not be generalizable across diverse populations.
• Further studies are needed to assess the prevalence and implications of dimple veiling in various corneal conditions.

Conclusion:

Dimple veiling is a common occurrence in contact lens wearers and can be effectively managed through improved lens fitting, with careful monitoring of visual acuity.
