5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  A 52-year-old female with corneal ectasia improved visual acuity using scleral lenses with wavefront optics to correct residual higher-order aberrations (HOAs).

• 2

  Initial scleral lenses provided significant visual improvement but did not fully address residual HOAs, leading to poor subjective vision quality for the patient.

• 3

  Redesigning the scleral lenses with front-surface wavefront correction resulted in improved visual acuity of 20/25 in each eye and reduced residual HOAs.

• 4

  A recent study showed wavefront-corrected scleral lenses improved higher-order root-mean-square values by 56% in patients with corneal ectasia.

• 5

  Customized wavefront correction is essential for patients with corneal ectasia, as traditional optics may not adequately address significant back-surface irregularities.
