SCOPE Study
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study will prospectively compare visual satisfaction and ease of use between corneal gas permeable and scleral lenses for patients with mild to moderate keratoconus who are naiive to lens use.
Keratoconus is a non-inflammatory condition in which the cornea or clear front surface of the eye steepens and thins and can decrease vision. It is a progressive disease in which corneal irregularity increases and thickness decreases. The patient-reported quality of life mayvary depending upon the prescribed form of contact lens correction..
