Purpose. To analyze the efficacy and safety of SCL in patients with corneal cicatricial changes and other concomitant conditions. Material and мethods. The study included 19 patients (20 eyes) with cicatricial deformity of the cornea of various etiology, who were fitted with scleral contact lenses. Results and discussions. The use of SCL is possible in post-traumatic pathology, such as corneoscleral scars with or without aphakia, as well as after keratitis with an outcome in cicatricial deformity, cicatricial changes after a burn. A significant increase in visual acuity compared with spectacle correction has been proven. Depending on the topography of the scar, it is possible to select scleral lenses such as Oblate and Prolate, as well as with different versions of the support zone: both toric and quadratic. Conclusion. Scleral lenses can be successfully used for optical correction in patients with cicatricial changes in the cornea and other concomitant post-traumatic conditions of ineffectiveness of other methods of visual rehabilitation.
