title: [Lens prescription for rigid contact lenses in keratoconus].
abstract: Rigid Gas-Permeable contact lenses is a less risky option for improving the quality of vision in corneal ectasias such as keratoconus. They reshape the corneal surface (flattens the cornea) so that in most cases, with a proper lens, the patient can reach a visual acuity of 20/20.
