Comprehensive visual and cosmetic rehabilitation of cornea plana.
A case of bilateral cornea plana with high hypermetropia is reported in a 20-year-old woman. Neither routine spectacles nor polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) contact lenses could achieve satisfactory visual and cosmetic results. Comprehensive visual and cosmetic rehabilitation was accomplished with a high-plus, low-water-content, lenticular soft lens. This new concept of management of cornea plana appears promising in cases not amenable to routine spectacles or hard contact lenses.
