While it can be stated that cases such as ours are examples of simultaneous development of keratoconus are otherwise predisposed individual rather than direct results of contact lens wear, it is still a disturbing development. Although inheritance patterns are vague if existent in keratoconus patients, it might fall on the ophthalmologist to prove that lens wear was not associated with the problem in a legal forum. With increasing attention to medicolegal problems, the burden of careful and reasonably close follow-up cannot be ignored in contact lens patients.
虽然可以说像我们这样的病例是圆锥角膜同时发病的例子，是个体易患而非隐形眼镜佩戴的直接结果，但这仍然是一个令人不安的情况。尽管圆锥角膜患者中即使存在遗传模式也不明确，但在法律层面上，可能需要眼科医生来证明镜片佩戴与该问题无关。随着对法医学问题的关注度不断提高，隐形眼镜患者仔细且合理密切随访的负担不容忽视。
