    Richner-Hanhart syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, can cause recurrent corneal issues. Highly hydrophilic contact lenses provided immediate relief for eye pain associated with this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Richner-Hanhart syndrome is a rare, recessively inherited disorder characterized by keratosis palmaris et plantaris and distinctive corneal dystrophy.
    • Recurrent dendritic keratitis is a significant clinical manifestation, often leading to severe eye pain and visual impairment.

    Observation:

    • A Turkish infant diagnosed with Richner-Hanhart syndrome presented with recurrent episodes of bilateral dendritic keratitis.
    • Previous conservative treatments for the associated ocular pain were ineffective.

    Findings:

    • The application of highly hydrophilic contact lenses resulted in prompt and complete symptomatic relief from recurrent eye pain.
    • This suggests a novel, effective management strategy for the ocular manifestations of Richner-Hanhart syndrome.

    Implications:

    • Highly hydrophilic contact lenses represent a promising therapeutic option for managing symptomatic recurrent keratitis in Richner-Hanhart syndrome.
    • This approach may improve the quality of life for patients by alleviating chronic ocular discomfort.
