Mini-scleral lenses in the visual rehabilitation of patients after penetrating keratoplasty and deep lamellar anterior keratoplasty

Highlights • We evaluated fitting feasibility and visual results of miniscleral lenses in highly irregular post corneal graft patients. • Two different types of corneal graft – lamellar and full thickness – were compared together. • Barriers to acceptance of miniscleral lenses were evaluated. • Pati...

Summary:Highlights • We evaluated fitting feasibility and visual results of miniscleral lenses in highly irregular post corneal graft patients. • Two different types of corneal graft – lamellar and full thickness – were compared together. • Barriers to acceptance of miniscleral lenses were evaluated. • Patients’ tolerance and potential complications were evaluated in follow up visits.
