The document summarizes a case study of a 20-year-old male patient with left eye vision loss since childhood due to corneal scarring who was fitted for a prosthetic soft contact lens. Details are provided on the patient's history and examination, differential diagnosis, types and fitting criteria of prosthetic contact lenses, fitting of a medium brown type D prosthetic lens, and fitting assessment showing good coverage, centration, and movement. The plan is for the patient to be fitted with a single purecon prosthetic soft contact lens.

• A 20 years / Male patient was visited to the hospital on
06/04/2019 with the complaint of left eye loss of vision for
distance and near since childhood followed by chicken pox
• Ophthalmic consultation with Dr. Salman 3 days prior where
advised for corneal tatooting or corneal prosthesis and
referred to CLGEI
• Other history: not significant

6. Introduction
• A prosthetic contact lens (artificial iris) is a contact lens used
on both sighted and non-sighted eyes to improve their
cosmetic appearance

Editor's Notes
Xerosis?
Put pic of all types of scarring?/
TYPE A –pupil only tinted , iris are clear
TYPE B/O- whose lens tinted ,no separate pupil
TYPE C - iris are tinted ,clear pupil
TYPE D-iris are tinted ,pupil tinted separately
In a normal room illumination the average pupil size is 4.5mm
Iris dia is important to measure to ensure total coverage of any noticible disfigurement (measure from a healthy ey, if possible
Many Patients have an intact cornea where proper K readings can be recorded. However, patients with disfigured, scarred corneas can be quite difficult to measure. In this type of case, we can start with initial 8.60 BC
The most difficult measurement in fitting a prosthetic soft lens is color matching
Coverage: Mainly we need to see whether the lens is covering the whole cornea or not
Centration: Bynasal system (X: +N, -T; Y: +S, -I)
Movement (0.2 to 0.8mm)
Upgaze lag (up to 1.5 mm acceptable)
Tightness: Asked the pt to look straight and with the help to lower lid margin push the lens up, so how much pressure is applying to push the lens is tightness
Clear periphery how to calculate???
BC: median??? find out in number??
