A case of severe refractive changes induced by Galyfilcon A silicone hydrogel contact lenses

Corneal warpage caused by cosmetic contact lenses: a case description

“…Similarly, in the present case, corneal warpage resolved within 22 days. One study ( 6 ) reported that spherical and cylindrical refractions fluctuate with the duration of warpage resolution, which is consistent with our observations in the present case. The clinical picture of corneal warpage often mimics a keratoconus-like topographic pattern characterized by inferior steepening and superior flattening of the cornea, making differentiating between warpage and keratoconus difficult.…”
