title: Soft Contact Lens Optimizes Visual Goals for a Patient with Keratoectasia.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the usefulness of the KeraSoft IC lens with a patient with high visual and comfort demands with keratoectasia.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 30-year-old white woman was diagnosed as having bilateral corneal ectasia after laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis. She underwent a penetrating keratoplasty for her left eye with subsequent photorefractive keratectomy to improve visual acuity. She was referred by her corneal specialist for a specialty contact lens evaluation to improve contact lens visual acuity and comfort during demanding physical activities.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case highlights the success of the KeraSoft IC soft contact lens for irregular corneas to address specific visual and comfort demands during physical fitness activities.
