title: [New possibilities of individual fitting of hard contact lenses with use of computer programs and videokeratography (CVK)].
abstract: The aim of the following paper is to evaluate possibilities of modern computer technologies and CVK in fitting of hard contact lenses in difficult cases of keratoconus or in order to improve their tolerance. 425 patients were examined (761 eyes) 289 men and 135 women, age - between 11 and 56 years of life, giving the average of 26 years. Evaluation was carried out by means of retrospective method, analyzing the effect of fitting in the 2nd and 3rd stage of keratoconus, advancement in the Amsler and Muckenchirn's scale. The procedure involved the technique of parallel application to the cornea. Computer technique enabled fast and precise fitting of lenses in difficult cases.
