Abstract

The article details an unusual presentation of stromal vascularization and lipid keratopathy that resulted from hydrogel lens extended wear. It reveals that circinate keratopathy involves deep stromal vascularization with marked lipid deposition in a ring pattern. The high oxygen permeability of a silicone hydrogel lens enabled the patients' safe return to contact lens wear.
