In addition he has been able to wear his lenses every day with all day lens wear comfortably. His vision has remained at 20/20 with his GVR lenses. Every year this patient has returned to our office for yearly examinations, the latest being today.
In 2008, we fit this patient with GVR Scleral lenses which have provided this gentleman with 20/20 vision in each eye. He was also unable to obtain functional vision with eyeglasses. Over these years he tried many different types of contact lenses without success. A number of doctors told him that his only option was to have corneal transplant surgery in both eyes. Over the years he visited a number of major eye institutions and clinics throughout the United States trying to get help. When this patient first visited our office, his visual acuity was 20/800 in each eye. Note in the photo below the protrusion or bulging of the upper portion of this cornea. This patient suffers from a very rare form of keratoconus known as “Superior Pellucid Marginal Degeneration.” This type of corneal ectasia affects the upper half of both of his corneas. The patient in the photo with me lives in the Bahamas and first visited our office in 2008.
