摘要: Purpose. The Rose K Lens for Keratoconus is a proprietary rigid contact lens design that has been reported and marketed as provides better visual acuity comfort than other designs keratoconus. Methods. Twenty patients with keratoconus who were wearing lenses refitted into the lenses. Visual measurements taken habitual at baseline visit completion of study. Questionnaires used to assess vision-specific quality life, comfort, self-reported assessment vision. Results. There no statistically significant changes in high- or low-contrast was improvement vision eyes more advanced At conclusion study, 72% preferred over their lenses, 87% they would continue Conclusions. difference compared patients' Subjective indicate statistical lens. We could not rule out placebo effect source subjective comfort. Nevertheless, successful fit rate patient preference demonstrate usefulness clinical practice.
