This study was done with prime objective of choosing appropriate contact lens from available two options (RGP lens and Rose K lens) for various grades of keratoconus.
In present study 21 eyes of 14 patients were selected; who presented in our hospital with various grades of keratoconus. Time period of study is twelve months.
