Title

Truncations of mini-sclera lenses in case of conjunctival lesions

Purpose	To describe the resolution of conjunctival lesions by making 2 truncations in a mini-scleral lens.
Methods	Case report
Results	A 44-years old woman with keratoconus developed two vascularized conjunctival lesions in the interpalpebral zone of the right eye after wearing mini-sclera lenses . A refitting with a mini-scleral lens of a different design was performed. Two truncations in the 3 and 9 o’ clock position were made manually. The conjunctival lesion disappeared and a good comfort was obtained.
Conclusion	A customized design of mini-scleral lenses can be used in special cases and might increase patient comfort.
Conflict of interest	No
