ABSTRACT
Objective- Providing a healthy satisfactory visual acuity approach to a patient of Keratoconus fitted with a Rose-K contact lens.
Introduction- Rose K lens is an effective option for visual improvement in irregular cornea such as Keratoconus. Contact lenses are the mainstay therapy for Keratoconus and are the treatment modality of choice in 90% of patients due to corneal surface irregularity.
Case History- A 32-year-old female patient visited at Ahooja Eye & Dental Institute, Gurugram, with the chief complaint of diminished vision in her left eye for the last one month. The patient did not complain about diminished vision in the right eye. Earlier, the patient had diagnosed with the case of Keratoconus somewhere else and suggested to be continued with the glasses. The patient had a history of spectacles in the last 7 years and using the current prescription for the last 4 months. Visual acuity for distance & near, with glass and the current prescription was recorded.
Conclusion- In our case, after all the presented findings and trial, one pair of Rose K2 lenses of varying total diameter and optic zone diameter was ordered. The patient was asked to visit for lens collection and follow up after 6 months. Lastly, it is advised that all Rose k practitioners keep at least two to three trial lenses, assess the fit in each fit, and choose lenses based on corneal topography.
