PURPOSE: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the visual outcomes and improvement in quality of life (QOL) of patients with keratoconus with scleral lenses. METHODS: In this prospective study, 14 patients (28 eyes) with bilateral keratoconus were fitted with scleral lenses (McAsfeer 16.00 mm) in Pune city, Maharashtra, India. Uncorrected visual acuity (VA), best spectacle-corrected VA, and VA with scleral lenses were evaluated. The patients were given the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25 (NEI VFQ-25) for judging the QOL, before and after using scleral lenses for 3 months. RESULTS: The mean uncorrected VA of the 14 patients with a mean age of 28.64 ± 6.57 years was 1.18 ± 0.19 logMAR. Best spectacle-corrected high-contrast VA improved from 0.47 ± 0.25 logMAR to 0.03 ± 0.07 logMAR with scleral lenses (P < 0.001). Best spectacle-corrected low-contrast VA improved from 0.68 ± 0.22 logMAR to 00.47 ± 0.10 logMAR with scleral lenses (P < 0.001). Along with the increase in overall median scores on the NEI VFQ-25 from 1735 to 2930 points (P < 0.001), the distance and near activities (P < 0.001), vision-specific mental health (P < 0.002), social functioning (P < 0.004), and driving (P < 0.005) improved after using scleral lenses for 3 months. CONCLUSION: Scleral lenses can be an effective and safe management option for patients with keratoconus leading to an improved vision and QOL.

“…If we have the appropriate manufacturing range, we could try adapting the soft contact lens, 2 but keep in mind that in moderate irregular astigmatisms to try to make the post-contact meniscus simulate some corneal regularity, the lens should have a high stiffness modulus (Mpa). In cases of keratoplasty or keratoconus with high irregular astigmatisms, the most correct option is a rigid lens as in the case of corneo-scleral lenses 3,4 since they support the sclera, avoiding any type of friction in the corneal area and creating a postlente lacrimal reservoir between 100 and 300 microns. The support area or edge of these lenses can also be regulated in many cases to avoid indentation of the same in the sclera with the risks of bleaching of blood vessels that this entails.…”

Objective: To show the improvement of visual acuity in five clinical cases of irregular astigmatism, achieved with contact lenses of different materials and geometries. Case reports: Five case reports are exposed and their adaptations for the use of this type of lenses are evaluated. After inserting corneo-scleral lenses or soft contact lenses, each adaptation is evaluated. Results: All patients have improved meaningfully their visual acuity without affecting their corneal integrity and improving their quality of life. Conclusion: Advances in the design and materials of contact lenses have helped eye-care professionals to solve visual problems that would have been difficult to solve years ago. Keywords: irregular astigmatism, keratoconus, keratoplasty, custom contact lenses, cornea-scleral contact lenses
