Article Synopsis
- A 15-year-old boy with a history of herpes zoster virus infection presented with a central corneal scar in his right eye, reducing his vision to 20/200 after a year of no improvement from medications like oral valacyclovir and topical corticosteroids.
- Upon examination, the right eye showed significant corneal opacity without vascularization, while the left eye had a macular scar but no corneal issues.
- The case raises questions about potential surgical interventions, such as phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK), corneal transplantation options, and setting up prophylactic treatments to ensure proper healing post-surgery.
Purpose: Keratoconus is characterized by bilateral asymmetrical corneal ectasia that leads to inferior stromal thinning and corneal protrusion. There is currently a lack of consensus regarding the most efficacious method for fitting contact lenses in patients with keratoconus, given the various topographical patterns and evolution grades observed in affected populations. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the association between keratoconus evolution grade and topography pattern and the type and design of fitted contact lens.
