To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of scleral lenses in patients with irregular corneal astigmatism stemming from ocular surface diseases (OSD), focusing on visual acuity improvement, comfort, and overall satisfaction. This prospective clinical study enrolled patients diagnosed with OSD-related irregular corneal astigmatism. Participants underwent comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation, including corneal topography, visual acuity assessment, and tear film analysis. Qualified subjects were fitted with scleral lenses and followed up at intervals of one week, one month, and three months post-fitting. The primary outcomes measured were uncorrected and corrected visual acuity, comfort levels assessed via a standardized questionnaire, and fitting success rates. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods to compare pre- and post-intervention values.

| Scleral lens fitting assessment | The fitting assessment is conducted using a slit lamp microscope to observe the central positioning of the lens, the tear film space under the lens, and the vascular compression on the peripheral conjunctival surface. OCT is applied to measure the tear film space between the central and peripheral non-contact areas of the lens and the anterior corneal surface, as well as the landing zone of the lens in all peripheral directions. | 4 hours later |

Patients with irregular corneal astigmatism who visited the ophthalmology clinic of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University for scleral lens fitting from January 2022 to June 2024 were selected. This includes patients with post-keratoconus cross-linking surgery, post-keratoplasty, and those with corneal irregularities caused by trauma.
