Mini-scleral Lenses in the Treatment of Neurotrophic Keratopathy Secondary to Möbius or Möbius-like Syndrome

Abstract

Objective: This case report aims to explore the use of large diameter rigid gas permeable lenses (LDRGP) for the treatment of ocular and visual complications in a young patient presenting with neurotrophic corneas.

Methods: After a comprehensive eye exam and specific testing for contact lens fitting, LDRGP lenses were fitted with success and dispensed. RESULTS. Prescribed contact lenses helped the patient achieve optimal visual correction (6/6) as well as ocular protection for the cornea.

Conclusion: Neurotrophic keratopathy is a challenging condition due to its impact on ocular health and vision. LDRGP offer a unique way of addressing many issues raised in this case report such as corneal healing and visual restoration. This lens modality may be considered for any other case involving abnormal corneal tissue healing and reduced visual acuity.
