Successful post surgical contact lens fitting of a patient with multiple radial keratotomy incisions

Abstract

A 35-year-old woman was referred for contact lens fitting. The patient had undergone four radial keratotomy procedures in each eye between 1989 and 1990. A total of 32 radial keratotomy incisions were made on each cornea. The patient was dissatisfied with both her uncorrected visual acuity as well as her best-corrected visual acuity as obtained by speectacle correction. She also reported disturbing symptoms of asthenopia. She was successfully prescribed bitoric RGP lenses.
