5 Key Takeaways
-
1
Patients with moderate or worse keratoconus often require specialty lenses after ICRS implantation to improve visual acuity.
-
2
ICRSs are designed to enhance visual acuity but can alter corneal topography, complicating scleral lens fitting.
-
3
A case study details a 55-year-old keratoconus patient who experienced chronic erosion requiring ICRS removal after scleral lens wear.
-
4
The patient achieved 20/20 acuity with a properly fitted scleral lens but later developed epithelial erosions over her inferior ICRS.
-
5
Successful ICRS removal allowed the patient to wear the same scleral lens without further complications.
