Abstract
Abstract: Stevens-Johnson syndrome often results in a significant reduction in vision, dryness, and photophobia based on severity. Scleral lenses are well-considered visual interventions that enhance vision and comfort, resulting in an increased quality of life for patients. This case report describes the enhancement of comfort, cosmesis, and reduction of photophobia using a piggyback system (scleral contact lenses over a prosthetic contact lens), whereas the other modalities were unsatisfactory.
期刊介绍:
Eye & Contact Lens: Science and Clinical Practice is the official journal of the Contact Lens Association of Ophthalmologists (CLAO), an international educational association for anterior segment research and clinical practice of interest to ophthalmologists, optometrists, and other vision care providers and researchers. Focusing especially on contact lenses, it also covers dry eye disease, MGD, infections, toxicity of drops and contact lens care solutions, topography, cornea surgery and post-operative care, optics, refractive surgery and corneal stability (eg, UV cross-linking). Peer-reviewed and published six times annually, it is a highly respected scientific journal in its field.
