Keratoconus (KC) is managed by many different contact lens designs. No one design is best for every type of keratoconus. Since each lens design has its own unique characteristics, the lens fitter carefully evaluates the needs of the individual situation to find the lens that offers the best combination of visual acuity, comfort, and corneal health.
The lens type most frequently used to correct KC vision is a "Rigid Gas Permeable (GP or RGP)” lens. Gas permeable lenses have a number of features that make them ideal for KC:
In addition to GP lenses, other contact lens types have been successfully used in certain cases of KC.
"Piggyback" describes the technique in which a soft contact lens is placed on the eye and a rigid lens is fitted on top of the soft lens. For some people, this dual lens system provides the best of both worlds: The comfort of a soft contact lens; and the vision-correcting capabilities of a rigid contact lens.
"Hybrid" is the term used to describe a combination lens that incorporates a rigid GP lens in the center, surrounded by a soft peripheral "skirt." These lenses, while challenging to fit, can provide a better combination of comfort and vision than soft or GP lenses alone.
