Topographical and Refractive Outcomes After Corneal Cross-linking in Novice Scleral Lens Users.

Objective: To determine if scleral fittings that occur before corneal cross-linking (CXL) are still successful after the procedure.

Methods: This prospective study included seven patients with keratoconus or post-laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) corneal ectasia who were fitted with scleral lenses then underwent CXL. Four patients (six eyes) had keratoconus and three patients (five eyes) had post-LASIK ectasia.
