Objective:
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.
