Abstract
Approximately 2.4 million ocular injuries occurring in the US annually, and may lead to temporary or permanent vision loss. [1] Dependent on its origin, ocular trauma may range from corneal abrasions to traumatic iritis, to retinopathies and detachment. Piggybacking a corneal gas permeable (GP) contact lens over a soft contact lens is an alternative option that proves beneficial when other specialty lenses are contraindicated and/or cannot be manipulated with needed parameters (i.e., filtering blebs, necessary colour options).
