Descemetocele Management With Therapeutic Scleral Lens Wear
Conclusions:
This case illustrates the use of extended scleral lens wear, followed by maintenance with daily scleral lens wear, to manage a descemetocele in a patient with neurotrophic and exposure keratopathy. For patients at high risk of postsurgical complications, therapeutic scleral lens wear may be used as an alternative or as a supplement to corneal transplantation and tarsorrhaphy in patients with descemetocele formation.
