Objective:
To evaluate treatment options for a 17-year-old female with congenital distichiasis affecting her contact lens stability.
Key Findings:
- Congenital distichiasis can complicate contact lens fitting due to additional eyelashes.
- Scleral lenses provided improved visual stability and comfort for the patient.
Interpretation:
Congenital distichiasis, while rare and often asymptomatic, can impact contact lens wear, necessitating alternative fitting strategies.
Limitations:
- The case study is based on a single patient experience.
- Long-term outcomes of scleral lens use in patients with distichiasis are not discussed.
Conclusion:
Congenital distichiasis may require creative solutions for contact lens fitting, with scleral lenses being a viable option for improved stability and comfort.
