Implication

Prospective interventional study compares binocular vision enhancement between two types of contact lenses in keratoconus patients, suggesting better outcomes with scleral lenses.

Key Points

To evaluate the effects of corneal rigid and scleral contact lenses on binocular vision in keratoconus patients.
Prospective non-randomized comparative interventional study
Participants aged 20 to 40 with keratoconus and BCVA of 0.40 LogMAR or better
Comprehensive visual assessments conducted before and after contact lens fitting.
31 patients recruited (12 in CRCL group, 19 in SCL group)
Significant improvement in BCVA after lens fitting in both groups, SCL group saw a gain of 1-3 lines
Higher proportion of SCL group achieved central stereopsis (<100 sec/arc) after fitting (p=0.011)
