A patient experienced monocular diplopia due to corneal scarring. Various contact lens and surgical options were explored to restore vision, highlighting challenges in managing corneal irregularities.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Disease
  • Vision Science

Background:

  • Corneal stromal scarring can significantly impair vision, leading to symptoms like monocular diplopia.
  • Management of visual impairment from corneal irregularities presents unique clinical challenges.

Observation:

  • A 56-year-old male presented with reduced vision and monocular diplopia in the left eye.
  • Anterior corneal stromal scarring encroaching on the visual axis was identified as the cause.
  • Initial rigid gas permeable lens fitting improved visual acuity but caused corneal abrasion.

Findings:

  • Rigid lens fitting provided temporary visual improvement but was limited by induced corneal abrasion.
  • A combination of contact lens strategies and surgical interventions was ultimately required.

  • Successful visual rehabilitation was achieved through tailored management of the corneal lesion.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the complexity of managing vision loss from corneal stromal scarring.
    • Innovative contact lens designs and surgical techniques may be necessary for optimal outcomes.
    • Personalized treatment approaches are crucial for patients with irregular corneas and visual compromise.
