6. Corneal WarpageResults from the cornea “molding” to an irregular shapeand/or fit of your contact lens.

• Usually caused by a poor fitting or warped RGP lens but, can be caused by soft contacts.


• Over time, the cornea loses its symmetry; becoming "flat" on the top and “steep” on the bottom


• This is called “irregular” astigmatism and can’t be treated by wearing glasses; thus, vision is poor even while wearing glasses.


• Halos and glare around lights at night can become troubling.


• After several months of discontinuance of contacts, corneal curvature may stabilize; however, if it persists, rigid lenses must be worn to see well or surgery is required.
