Quadrant Asymmetric Design Contact Lens for Visual Rehabilitation after Eye Trauma

open access: yesCase Reports in Ophthalmology, 2021
The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate the efficacy of an asymmetric peripheral design scleral contact lens in a case of highly irregular corneal-scleral pattern due to trauma. A 63-year-old patient was involved in a jeep accident which caused

Acanthamoeba Keratitis Associated with Scleral Contact Lens Use in a Keratoconus Patient

open access: yesBeyoglu Eye Journal, 2020
To the best of our knowledge, this is the second reported case of Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) as a result of scleral lens use and the first case of AK associated with Maxim scleral lens use (Accu-Lens, Inc., Lakewood, CO, USA). A 22-year-old male scleral

Rigid Gas-Permeable Semi-Scleral Contact Lenses after Radial Keratotomy: Apical Space, Lens Diameter, Limbal Clearance, Peripheral O-Rings, and Tear Exchange as Contact-Lens-Fitting Success Factors

open access: yesOptics, 2022
The purpose of this case report is to verify if the adaptation of a rigid gas-permeable contact lens can improve VA and comfort in a patient with complications derived from radial keratotomy (RK) surgery.

The variability of corneal and anterior segment parameters in keratoconus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Purpose: To analyse, describe and test diverse corneal and anterior segment parameters in normal and keratoconic eyes to better understand the geometry of the keratoconic cornea. Method: 44 eyes from 44 keratoconic patients and 44 eyes from 44 healthy

Microstructure and growth of the lenses of schizochroal trilobite eyes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Lenses within the schizochroal eyes of phacopine trilobites are made principally of calcite and characterisation of them using light microscopy and high-resolution electron imaging and diffraction has revealed an array of microstructural arrangements ...

Contact lens in keratoconus

open access: yesIndian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2013
Contact lenses are required for the visual improvement in patients with keratoconus. Various contact lens options, such as rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, soft and soft toric lenses, piggy back contact lenses (PBCL), hybrid lenses and scleral lenses ...

Estimation of axial curvature of anterior sclera: correlation between axial length and anterior scleral curvature as affected by angle kappa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Though the development and fitting of scleral contact lenses are expanding steadily, there is no simple method to provide scleral metrics for scleral contact lens fitting yet. The aim of this study was to establish formulae for estimation of
