Contact lens management of pellucid marginal corneal degeneration in a Saudi Arabia teaching hospital
International Contact Lens Clinic(1994)
摘要
The distinguishing features of pellucid marginal cornea degeneration and keratoconus are outlined in the ophthalmic literature, but the former is often misdiagnosed as keratoconus or even myopia with low irregular astigmatism. This makes its diagnosis and treatment clinically challenging to the optometrist and the ophthalmologist. Improper diagnosis will always lead to treatment modalities that will not give desired relief to patients. This case report discusses the contact lens management of pellucid corneal degeneration in a patient who was initially misdiagnosed as having high myopia and treated with photorefractive keratectomy.
