Abstract
This case report demonstrates a new possibility of using rigid gas permeable miniscleral contact lenses as a device for performing Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy in patients with corneal irregularity. A correctly formed optical surface with a lens on the eye eliminates optical errors of the distorted cornea, and can be a useful tool for the optimization of aiming laser beam directing and focusing.
