Twenty-four eyes (60%) required aphakic contact lenses. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of \u2265 6\/18 in the snellen's acuity chart was seen in 10 (25%) eyes with spectacle correction and 37 (92.5%) eyes with the use of contact lens (p &lt; 0.001). The best-corrected visual acuity with spectacles was 0.20 \u00b1 0.13 while the same with contact lens was 0.58 \u00b1 0.26. All the patients showed an improvement of \u2265 2 lines over spectacles in the snellen's acuity chart with contact lens.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Rigid gas permeable contact lenses are better means of rehabilitation in eyes that have an irregular cornea due to scars caused by perforating corneal injuries.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2415-6-11","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,20]],"date-time":"2006-04-20T14:24:45Z","timestamp":1145543085000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Contact lens rehabilitation following repaired corneal perforations"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Jeewan S","family":"Titiyal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajesh","family":"Sinha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Namrata","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V","family":"Sreenivas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rasik B","family":"Vajpayee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"73_CR1","first-page":"211","volume":"15","author":"K Zadnik","year":"1988","unstructured":"Zadnik K: Postsurgical contact lens alternatives.
