Relevance. Keratoconus is one of the most common corneal diseases, leading to irregular astigmatism and reduced visual function, significantly affecting patients’ quality of life. In the context of the limited effectiveness of traditional correction methods, scleral lenses represent an innovative solution capable of providing high visual acuity and comfort during wear. Purpose of the study. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of applying SKYLENS scleral lenses with Oblate and Prolate profiles from SkyOptix laboratory for optical correction in patients with keratoconus of II–III stage in cases where other methods of visual rehabilitation are ineffective. Materials and methods. The analysis is based on a sample of 64 patients (87 eyes) with keratoconus of II–III stage. Scleral lenses were fitted after corneal cross-linking. The study included standard ophthalmological examination, keratotopography, and anterior segment OCT. Data were processed using the two-sided Student’s t-test with a significance level of p≤0.05. Results. The fitting of scleral lenses resulted in a significant improvement in visual acuity, averaging 0.99±0.13. The most notable improvement was observed in patients with lower placement of keratoconus. The study confirms the high effectiveness and safety of scleral lenses in vision correction for keratoconus, as well as their ability to significantly enhance patients’ quality of life. Conclusion. The conclusion emphasizes that orthokeratology is an effective and safe method for the long-term correction of myopia in children and adolescents.
