RGP-Kontaktlinsen, Netzhautforamen und Aderhautnävus

Abstract

Purpose. The case report describes the management of a retinal hole and two choroidal nevi during RGP contact lens fitting. Material and Methods. During a comprehensive eye exami- nation as part of a contact lens fitting, a retinal hole and two choroidal nevi were detected in the patient’s right eye by in- direct ophthalmoscopy and Optomap ultra-widefield imaging (Optos Daytona Plus). The preoperative and postoperative findings and optometric/ophthalmological co-management are described. Results. The retinal hole was completely closed by laser coagulation. The suspected diagnosis of two choroidal nevi was confirmed. Conclusion. Myopia in particular is often associated with secondary retinal diseases. For this reason, regular retinal examinations are indicated in myopic patients. A full eye examination is normally recommended in the prescribtion of visual aids for those affected.
