Effects of a semi-scleral contact lens on refraction and higher order aberrations

To investigate effects of Rose K2 XL semi-scleral contact lenses (Menicon Co.) on visual acuity and higher-order aberrations in eyes with irregular corneas. Methods: One hundred and twelve eyes of 84 patients fitted with Rose K2 XL lenses were analysed. Participants were in 4 clinical groups: keratoconus, intra-corneal ring segments, radial keratotomy, and penetrating keratoplasty. Corrected distance visual acuity and ocular aberrations were determined before lens wear and 60  min into lens wear.
