摘要
Objectives: After penetrating keratoplasty (PK) for keratoconus, vision can be impaired by high-degree astigmatism, particularly in those patients with recurrent peripheral ectasia. Scleral contact lenses (CLs) have long been used in the management of keratoconus both in treatment-naive corneas and those postcorneal transplants. We report the use of miniscleral CLs and their related visual and clinical outcomes in a series of patients with post-PK peripheral rim ectasia. Methods: In this retrospective case series, 5 patients (7 eyes) presented because of reduced visual acuity with their spectacles/CLs and/or reduced comfort with their existing rigid gas-permeable lenses. All patients in this series underwent PK more than two decades ago for keratoconus (mean 28.7 years±7.2). All patients demonstrated characteristic thinning at the graft–host junction, with anterior chamber deepening. Central corneas had remained clear in all patients inferring high visual potential. Contact lenses used were No 7 Comfort 15 miniscleral and the Onefit MED scleral with 14.5 mm and 15.6 mm diameters, respectively. Results: All eyes achieved a best-corrected visual acuity of 6/9 or greater. One case had difficulty with insertion and removal and has since discontinued wearing lens at this time. All others are successfully wearing the lenses regularly. Conclusion: Despite advances in CL design, surgical management is still required in some patients. Miniscleral CLs are effective in the refractive management of peripheral ectasia in keratoconic post-PK eyes and should be considered in such eyes before proceeding with repeat surgical intervention.
