摘要：Abstract To report the efficacy and safety of large diameter scleral lenses and determine their suitability in Asian subjects with intractable ocular surface diseases. This prospective study enrolled intractable ocular surface diseases subjects with uncorrected visual acuity > counting finger but ≥ 0.3 logMAR and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥ 0.3 logMAR, to fit large diameter scleral lenses for 12 weeks. 21 eyes (13 subjects) consisting ten eyes (47.6%) with persistent epithelial defects, 6 (28.6%) with graft-versus-host disease, 4 (19.0%) with Stevens–Johnson syndrome and one (4.8%) with severe dry eye were ultimately enrolled. Primary outcome measures were the visual acuity, corneal and conjunctival fluorescein staining, Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), and National Eye Institute 25-Item Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ-25). At week 12 with large diameter scleral lenses, BCVA improved from 0.77 logMAR to 0.27 logMAR ( P < 0.001). High-grade corneal and conjunctival fluorescein staining proportion decreased from 61.90 to 14.29% and 52.38 to 9.52%, respectively ( P = 0.0036 and 0.0063, respectively). OSDI and NEI-VFQ-25 improved from 67.89 to 34.69 and 51.40 to 64.48, respectively ( P < 0.001). No adverse effects were observed. In Asians with intractable ocular surface diseases, large diameter scleral lens improves visual acuity and alleviates signs and symptoms of ocular surface diseases without any significant complications.
