Which Lens Wins in Keratoconus?

This study reveals how choosing the right contact lens can significantly enhance visual outcomes for keratoconus patients.

1

The study compared visual outcomes of mini-scleral lenses and small-diameter rigid GP lenses in moderate-to-severe keratoconus patients.
2

Both lens types significantly improved best-corrected visual acuity, with RGP lenses showing lower irregular astigmatism and better topographic indices.
3

Topographic indices like center-surround index and irregular astigmatism index were valuable in predicting lens suitability and visual improvement.
4

Mini-scleral lenses were particularly beneficial for patients with apical scarring or highly decentered cones.
5

The study's limitations include its retrospective design, small sample size, and potential selection bias affecting results.
