HydrogelAbstract
As we all know customized silicone contact lens are not much common in Indian market, we here present a case where these can be fitted in eyes of a very high hypermetropia patient without much hassle. Initially patient was using RGP lens and was not comfortable using it and then she started using readily available soft contact lens but complained about not compatible with those lenses as well. In slit lamp examination over the old contact lens revealed those lenses were too loose fit and was folding whenever patient blinked. The symptoms resolved after custom made silicon hydrogel lens were given to the patient. These findings indicate that customized contact lens can help in certain high refractive error patient where ready stock contact lens or other type of lenses may not be helpful.
