Two eyes required a corneal transplant, but lens wear could be resumed 4 to 6 weeks after transplantation. The learning curve for the insertion and removal of this large-diameter lens is the main obstacle for a patient, especially when there is loss of corneal sensation.Conclusion: Scleral ...
If you are used to wearing standard contact lenses, it can take some time to become accustomed to wearing scleral lenses. Because they are larger than standard lenses and sit on the eye a bit differently, scleral lenses don’t have the same insertion and removal processes. To learn how to...

We considered treating the filamentary keratitis with amniotic membrane. However, the patient noted a poor experience previously and refused insertion. Instead, we prescribed N-acetylcysteine (NAC) drops to break up the corneal filaments, as well as hypocholorous acid lid hygiene spray and preservativ...
the lens does not assume a greater curvature. According to the conventional view, it is not possible by any treatment to restore the accommodative power to the presbyopic eye. The loss of elasticity of the lens and capsule is seen as irreversible, and the only solution to the problems present...
