Abstract
Caso clínico: Mujer de 27 años tratada de glaucoma congénito con alta miopía, baja AV y nistagmus en ambos ojos, fue referida para adaptar lentes de contacto. Se adaptan lentes de contacto rígidas permeables a los gases (LC RPG) asféricas y de alta transmisibilidad en uso diario. La paciente mejoró la AV con confort durante 10 horas al día de porte.
Discusión: La adaptación de lentes de contacto se realizó teniendo en cuenta la topografía corneal de la paciente. Consideramos las lentes de contacto permeables al gas como las lentes de primera elección para estos pacientes, que con una adecuada adaptación y seguimientos pueden utilizar con seguridad lentes de contacto RPG en uso diario.
Case report: A 27-year-old woman with congenital glaucoma with high myopia, low visual acuity and nystagmus in both eyes, was referred for contact lens fitting. We fitted her with aspherical rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses with high transmissibility, which she wore on a daily basis. Her visual acuity improved with the wearing of these lenses, which remained comfortable whilst being worn for 10 hours a day. Discussion: Contact lenses were fitted according to her corneal topography. Gas permeable contact lenses were chosen as first choice and with proper fitting and vigilant follow-up they may be worn safely on a daily basis (Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol 2008; 83: 377-380).
