Rose K Lenses for Keratoconus
No full textPur po se: To report our results with Rose K contact lenses in patients with keratoconus.
Ma te ri al and Met hod: Thirty one eyes of 17 patients with keratoconus were fitted with Rose K contact lens (CL) in the Cornea
Department at the Ümraniye Training and Research Hospital between March 2011 and June 2011. The demographic characteristics,
values of refraction, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, corneal topography of patients, CL parameters and visual acuity with the CL
were evaluated.
Re sults: Thirty one eyes of 17 patients with keratoconus were fitted with Rose-K contact lenses. Seven patients were male and 10
patients were female, the mean age was 24.59±7.28 years. The mean spherical refractive power was -4.96±3.17 diopters (range: from
-0.25 to -11.75) and mean cylinder was -3.47±1.44 diopters (range: from -1 to -6.5). The mean base curve of the lenses was 6.94 ±
0.49 mm and the mean power was -6.02±3.79 diopters. All patients were successfully fitted with the CL. Significant increase in visual
acuity was obtained with Rose K lens compared to best-corrected spectacle visual acuity.
Dis cus si on: Significant increase in visual acuity can be obtained with Rose K contact lenses in patients with keratoconus. The quality
and the quantity of vision are far better with CL than with spectacle correction. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2012; 42: 88-90

Rose-K contact lens for keratoconus
No full textAim: To report clinical experience and the comparative value of axial and instantaneous topography data in fitting Rose-K design contact lenses in moderate and severe keratoconus. Materials and Methods: Thirty-eight eyes (of 23 patients) with keratoconus were fitted with Rose-K design contact lenses and followed up for at least six months or more. Visual acuity with habitual vision correction available was measured. Axial and instantaneous topography maps for each eye were recorded. Contact lens wear comfort was graded on a ten point rating scale every three months. Results: Fourteen (100%) moderate keratoconus eyes (average Sim K 48.61 ± 1.24D) and 23 of 24 (96%) of severe keratoconus eyes (average Sim K 60.88 ± 5.31D) were successfully fitted with the Rose-K lenses. Final fit contact lenses in severe keratoconus had statistically significant steeper base curves compared to average axial corneal curvature than in moderate keratoconus eyes. Average simulated corneal curvature on axial maps predicted final fit contact lens base curves significantly better than on instantaneous maps. Thirty-three of the 37 eyes fitted with contact lenses maintained wear comfort over average follow up period of 13 ± 3.5 months. Conclusions: Rose-K design rigid contact lenses are successful in visually rehabilitating 100% of moderate and 96% of severe keratoconus eyes. Most patients (90%) maintained contact lens wear comfort. Corneal curvature on axial maps is a better predictive of base curve of final fit contact lens
