Customized Silicone Hydrogel Lens-A Case Study

Pratyush Dhakal* and Amrita Samanta

We report a case in which customized contact lens were fitted in eyes of a high hypermetropic patient. Initially patient was using a readily available contact lens but complained about not compatible with those lens. In slit lamp examination over the old contact lens revealed those lenses were too loose fit and was folding when patient blinked. The symptoms resolved after custom made silicon hydrogel lens were given to the patient. These findings indicate that customized contact lens can help in certain high refractive error patient where ready stock contact lens may not be helpful.
