Abstract
Mini-scleral lens’ are large diameter rigid lenses that are used to rehabilitate vision when the corneal shape is distorted from disease, scarring or after a corneal graft procedure, however, there are relatively few reports regarding their potential complications, in this case we describe the case of a corneal abscess in a mini-scleral lens wearer with keratoconus in order to determine whether this type of contact lens presents an increased risk of infection.
Keywords: Mini-scleral contact lens, corneal abscess, keratoconus
