Bandage contact lens (BCL) wear is important in the post-operative management of many corneal diseases to maintain appropriate hydration, protection, and minimize the chances of adverse complications. Boston Keratoprosthesis (KPro) is a treatment option for corneal disease not amenable to standard penetrating keratoplasty. A patient reported with vision drop followed by chemical injury (acid exposure). His unaided vision OD: HM+, OS: CF @ 50 cm. Underwent Kpro in the right eye, and vision improved to 6/9 with −6.50 ds, left noted physical eye. Post-surgery BCL with 8.8 base curve, 14.2 diameter along with −6.50 ds power was fitted to satisfy the visual need.
