Abstract Background:Scleral lenses(ScCLs)are a group of rigid gas permeable lenses with large diameters. ScCLs completely cover the cornea and rest on the sclera. ScCLs may be indicated for primary and secondary corneal ectasias, post-corneal transplants, and corneal scars. Here we report to successful cases of fitting ScCLs in patients with intolerance for hard contact lenses(HCL)after acute corneal hydrops.

Case 1:A 20-year-old man who developed acute corneal hydrops in the right eye 9 months earlier, with corneal opacity enduring after healing. He had difficulty adapting to HCLs due to heightened foreign body sensation. We prescribed ScCLs(TimeXL, Menicon B.V.), which improved his visual acuity from(0.3)to(1.0), and visual maintenance ratio(VMR)was 0.94 using functional visual acuity.

Case 2:A 45-year-old man who developed acute corneal hydrops in his right conical eye 8 years ago, and left corneal opacity after healing He also difficulty correcting his vision with HCLs due to heightened foreign body sensation. We prescribed ScCLs(TimeXL), which improved his visual acuity from(0.04)to(0.5), and VMR was 0.95 using functional visual acuity. Both patients are able to wear for more than 10 hours daily.

Conclusion:We experienced two cases of CL intolerance after acute corneal hydrops in keratoconus eyes. TimeXL ScCL was improved visual acuity and sustained use were achieved. Penetrating keratoplasty is the treatment of choice for vision loss due to corneal opacity after acute corneal hydrops, but ScCL may be useful as an option to avoid the transplant procedure.
