Objective:
To present the contact lens management of a patient with pterygium seeking visual improvement, specifically aiming for enhanced acuity and comfort.
Key Findings:
- Scleral lenses can effectively manage visual acuity in patients with pterygium by accommodating irregular corneal and scleral surfaces.
- Customization of scleral lenses is crucial for addressing the unique challenges presented by pterygium.
Interpretation:
The case illustrates the successful use of a scleral lens to improve vision in a patient with complex ocular conditions due to pterygium.
Limitations:
- The study is based on a single patient case, limiting generalizability to a broader population.
- Potential for lens fitting challenges in other patients with different severities of pterygium and varying demographics.
Conclusion:
Scleral lenses provide a viable option for patients with pterygium, enhancing visual acuity and comfort through tailored fitting.
