Abstract
A case is described of a patient fitted with contact lenses to correct myopic astigmatism following regression of refractive effect post photorefractive keratectomy. Rigid gas permeable lens tolerance was limited by lid sensation so the patient was refitted with daily-wear soft lenses. Successful lens wear was achieved with minimal corneal curvature change and epithelial disturbance. Corneal changes following PRK and subsequent contact lens fitting are discussed.
