Scleral rigid contact lenses represent an effective method of vision correction in patients with corneal irregularities. Scleral lenses improve visual acuity and reduce aberrations by providing a more regular anterior corneal surface with the aqueous layer forming between the lens and the cornea.</p> <p><bold>AIM:</bold> To study the specifics of correction with personalized scleral rigid contact lenses in vision rehabilitation in pediatric patients with injury-related corneal scarring.</p> <p><bold>RESULTS:</bold> The paper presents with case reports in which personalized scleral rigid contact lenses were required to be fitted for children with injury-related corneal scarring. The ophthalmological examination included visometry, autorefractometry, biomicroscopy, Scheimpflug imaging with Galilei G6, optical coherence tomography of the cornea with Anterion, and aberrometry with OPD-Scan III. In all cases, the scleral lenses were fitted with a personalized approach. Highly positive refractory and vision outcomes were obtained. All patients were more than satisfied with the functional outcomes, tolerability, and adaptation to the lenses.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:<italic> </italic></bold>Scleral lenses may be used in pediatric patients with injury-related corneal scarring in order to improve vision functions, reduce aberrations, and restore binocular vision. In most cases, this method of contact correction is the only one to achieve better vision acuity in children with injury-related corneal scarring.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Травмы органа зрения у детей являются одной из лидирующих причин возникновения слепоты и ранней инвалидизации, приводящих к замедлению развития ребёнка. Склеральные жёсткие контактные линзы являются эффективным способом коррекции зрения у пациентов с иррегулярной поверхностью роговицы. Склеральные линзы повышают остроту зрения и снижают количество аберрации, обеспечивая более регулярную переднюю поверхность роговицы за счёт водного слоя между линзой и роговицей.</p> <p><bold>Цель. </bold>Изучение особенностей контактной коррекции в зрительной реабилитации пациентов детского возраста с посттравматическими рубцами роговицы с помощью индивидуальных склеральных жёстких контактных линз.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> Представлены три клинических случая подбора индивидуальных склеральных жёстких контактных линз детям с посттравматическими рубцами роговицы. Офтальмологическое обследование включало визометрию, авторефкератометрию, биомикроскопию, исследование на Шеймпфлюг анализаторе Galilei G6, оптическую когерентную томографию роговицы Anterion, аберрометрию OPD-scan III. Во всех клинических случаях выполнен индивидуальный подбор склеральных линз. Достигнут высокий рефракционный и зрительный результат. Все пациенты отмечали высокую удовлетворённость функциональным результатом, переносимость и адаптацию к линзам.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Склеральные линзы можно применять в педиатрии пациентам с посттравматическими рубцами роговицы для улучшения качества зрительных функций, уменьшения количества аберраций и восстановления бинокулярного характера зрения. В большинстве случаев данный вид контактной коррекции является единственно возможным способом улучшения остроты зрения у детей с посттравматическими рубцами роговицы.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>rigid scleral contact lenses</kwd><kwd>corneal scarring</kwd><kwd>eye injury</kwd><kwd>children</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>склеральные жёсткие контактные линзы</kwd><kwd>рубец роговицы глаза</kwd><kwd>травма глаза</kwd><kwd>дети</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Shoja MR, Miratashi AM.
