The KC investigation is frequently focused on corneal topography. Contact lens prescription is a successful approach to restore patients’ vision by creating a new refractive surface. We herein describe a case of KC with a long axial length. The patient presents a reduced vision due to KC as well as under-correction of axial myopia. This case report highlights the importance of biometry investigation in KC cases when an optimum vision is not achieved with contact lens prescription.</p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>extreme axial length, keratoconus, contact lens</p><p>&nbsp;</p> ER -
