Abstract
Corneo-scleral rigid gas permeable lenses represent a new category of contact lens. Incorporating an overall diameter of approximately 14 to 15 mm, the corneo-scleral lens is larger than a corneal lens yet smaller than a scleral lens. A 39-year-old man was referred to our office for a contact lens fitting following penetrating keratoplasty of the left eye for advanced keratoconus. The patient was successully prescribed a corneo-scleral contact lens for the left eye.
