[Optical correction of keratoconus by soft contact lenses].
Soft contact lenses have been used in 41 patients (71 eyes) aged 10-50 years with uni- and bilateral keratoconus. In 46 eyes (64.8 p.c.) application of soft contact lens enabled visual acuity of 5/5 to 5/25, mainly in initial or intermediate phases of keratoconus. In these cases correction with soft contact lenses gave better results than after application of ++sphero-cylindrical spectacles. In far advanced keratoconus one can observed better visual acuity after application of soft contact lenses in comparison with spectacles correction. However correction with hard contact lenses was the best one.
