Contact lens options for post-keratoplasty patients have expanded over the last decade, which have helped improve vision and comfort satisfaction for these patients.  With a diverse range of options available, it is vital to customize the lens selection process based on the profile of each individual patient.  It’s important to take into consideration the shape of the graft, the health of the donor tissue, and the length of time from surgery prior to initiating the contact lens fit.  Other keys to consider are patients’ goals, expectations, and past contact lens history.
