Abstract:
Stevens-Johnson syndrome often results in a significant reduction in vision, dryness, and photophobia based on severity. Scleral lenses are well-considered visual interventions that enhance vision and comfort, resulting in an increased quality of life for patients. This case report describes the enhancement of comfort, cosmesis, and reduction of photophobia using a piggyback system (scleral contact lenses over a prosthetic contact lens), whereas the other modalities were unsatisfactory.
