Summary
Cornea Plana, a congenital eye condition, affects corneal shape. This case highlights successful management of high hypermetropia in a patient with Cornea Plana using routine spectacles.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Medical Genetics
Background:
- Cornea Plana is a rare congenital bilateral and asymmetric malformation affecting the corneo-scleral shape.
- Conventional management often involves corneo-scleral lenses.
Observation:
- A case report of a 20-year-old woman diagnosed with Cornea Plana at birth.
- The patient presented with significant high hypermetropia.
Findings:
- The patient's high hypermetropia was effectively corrected using routine spectacles.
- Correction was initiated at 6 months of age and maintained throughout her life.
Implications:
- This case suggests that routine spectacles can be an effective treatment for high hypermetropia in patients with Cornea Plana.
- Challenges traditional treatment paradigms for this specific congenital condition.
