Keratoplasty is a radical surgical method for treating various corneal pathologies. Today, there are many types of keratoplasty, each aiming to restore the integrity and transparency of the cornea. However, keratoplasty-induced ametropia often prevents achieving high visual acuity and makes impossible the use of conventional optical correction methods such as glasses or soft and traditional rigid contact lenses. In this regard, the use of scleral contact lenses is the most optimal method for optical correction of postoperative refractive anomalies, ensuring successful visual rehabilitation and preventing the need for additional keratorefractive interventions.
