Purpose:To report a case of neurotrophic keratitis in which scleral contact lenses improved vision from 20/100 to 20/20, however, due to poor lens care, an incident of microbial keratitis developed.Methods:A 64-year-old man with an ocular history of neurotrophic keratitis secondary to herpes simplex in each eye was successfully fit with scleral lenses. He subsequently developed microbial keratitis due to a number of risk factors.Results:The lesion was culture negative, yet was very responsive to treatment with moxifloxacin. The lesion fully healed, and the patient did not suffer additional vision loss.Conclusions:This case demonstrates the ability of scleral lenses to correct visual impairments secondary to poor epithelial integrity and illustrates the importance of the practitioner providing detailed lens care instruction.
