Contact Lens Fittings Techniques With Irregular Corneas.

In the practice of optometry, we rarely come across patients with irregular corneas. This
leads to some practitioners to lose confidence in their ability to fit these patients. This is
very unfortunate because these patients are some of the most highly motivated, and if
successfully fit can be very good referral sources for your practice. There are many types
of conditions leading to, or causing irregular corneal surfaces that can be treated and
managed visually with contact lenses. I will briefly define and explain some of these conditions, along with providing techniques and contact lenses available for successfully fitting these patients.
