Summary We present our experience of scleral lens fitting after refractive failure of corneal reshaping surgery. 100 eyes of 90 patients unsatisfied after corneal reshaping surgery: Lasik (55), PKR (15), Radial keratotomy (10) and intra corneal ring segment implantation (20) are enrolled in this retrospective study. Visual acuity outcomes, quality of life using the contact lens impact quality of life ( CLIQ ) questionnaire and complications of scleral lens wear are discussed.
