Abstract

According to a survey conducted at the Krugozor Ophthalmology Clinics, every second scleral lens wearer regrets that they did not know about the existence of this correction method before. On the one hand, the level of awareness among ophthalmologists and patients of the possibilities and benefits of scleral lenses in the optical rehabilitation of patients with irregular astigmatism increases every year. On the other hand, practitioners often find that patients have to walk for years before they are rerouted to a special contact lenses office for a scleral lens fitting.

In this issue of the journal we share a clinical case of optical rehabilitation of a female patient with keratoconus using scleral lenses, manufactured in Optimum Infinite from Contamac presented by our foreign colleagues Hans Bleshoy & Yett Lassen.
