Popis: PURPOSE To quantify the effect of a single scleral lens design on visual acuity and ocular higher-order aberrations in eyes with post-LASIK ectasia, keratoconus and pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD) that could not achieve satisfactory vision with spectacles or soft contact lenses. METHODS Forty-six eyes of 28 participants fitted with diagnostic scleral lenses (KeraCare) were analysed, including 19, 15 and 12 eyes with post-LASIK ectasia, keratoconus and PMD, respectively. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and ocular aberrations were measured prior to lens wear and during lens wear after 60 min of settling. An i-Trace aberrometer was used to determine aberrations over a 4.5 mm diameter pupil. RESULTS Before lens wear, the median (95% confidence interval) values across all groups were: CDVA 0.30 (0.30, 0.40) logMAR, spherical equivalent refraction -2.75 (-5.25, -2.12) D, cylindrical refraction 3.75 (2.50, 5.00) D, higher-order-root-mean-square error (HO-RMS) 0.90 (0.64, 1.03) μm and vertical coma co-efficient C(3,-1) -0.32 (-0.42, -0.12) μm. RMS coma of 0.52 (0.40, 0.74) μm was higher for the keratoconus group than for the other groups (p
