OBJECTIVE: To verify corneal alterations in patients with keratoconus who wear scleral contact lenses (ScCLs), focusing on corneal endothelial assessment. METHODS: Scleral contact lenses were fitted in 22 patients with keratoconus. During a 90-day follow-up, patients were assessed in three visits: at baseline, after 30 days, and after 90 days. Patients underwent visual acuity measurement, slitlamp biomicroscopy of the anterior segment, specular microscopy of the corneal endothelium, corneal pachymetry, measurement of the clearance between the cornea and the lens, and follow-up of ectasia. RESULTS: Variables related to endothelial morphology and pachymetry values did not change significantly over time. Central clearance measurements decreased in the 90-day period. No progression of corneal ectasia was observed, neither were infectious or inflammatory processes in the same period. CONCLUSION: Daily wear of ScCLs in patients with keratoconus was not associated with adverse effects on the cornea or endothelium over a period of 90 days nor was there evidence of disease progression. Central clearance values diminished over that period, but the significance of this observation remains unclear.
