While the cornea is the first front transparent medium of the eye facing light its sphericality and axial curvature can identify most of refraction errors and its irregular profile forming irregular vision as a result of high order aberration. Specialty Contact lenses is non-surgical solution managing irregular cornea and correct vision for every day wear.” Soft customized - RGP corneal - Hybrid RGP/soft - Scleral “ Lenses. Introduction: Keratoglobus is a rare, non-inflammatory corneal ectasia characterized by diffuse protrusion and thinning of the cornea And it appears at the first decade of life bilaterally. Case Report: Male 25 years old male teacher ,with keratoglobus, assessment of visual acuity UNAIDED VA is <6/60 & BCVA is <6//30 with Amblyopia in right eye.Discussions: The key to success with this patient was the ability to configure diameter, base curve and edge lift independently of the central fit Conclusions: We don’t deal with cornea as one piece, we should customize lens as per corneal profile, lens parameters BC, Dia, peripheral edges and lens material. After 25 years of living with severely compromised vision 6/30 to 6/12. His wearing time is generally 4 hours and has been pushed to 6 and has recovered an important degree of independence.
