Purpose: To prevent recurrence of granular dystrophy by treatment with soft contact lenses.
Methods: After penetrating keratoplasty, a soft contact lens was fitted in a 61-year-old woman patient with granular corneal dystrophy. The lens was worn continuously for 53 months.
Results: No recurrence was observed. However, the other eye, which was operated on first and not treated with a contact lens, showed severe recurrence of the underlying disease, with granular deposits in the stroma.
Conclusions: Fitting of a soft contact lens should be considered in this disease after penetrating keratoplasty.
