Introduction & Aim: Children aft er traumatic corneal lacerations, suff ering from irregular corneal astigmatism, spectacle best-corrected (SVA) of less than 20/20 and unilateral amblyopia in children with BCVA less than 20/40. Th e purpose of this study was an objective evaluation of the clinical value of Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses (RGPCLs) by investigating the cornea profi le, optical defects and the simulated vision functions by using the Sirius topographer. Methodology & Th eoretical Orientation: A comparative study of visual acuity correction and improvement of visual disorders as corneal aberrations as (HOAs, LOAs, PSF and with and without RGPCLs fi tting in 15 children with history corneal scars aft er trauma or irregular corneal incision aft er cataract extraction operation. We compared the UCVA, Spectacle (VA) and the BCVA post while fi tting RGPCLs. We used the Sirius topographer (CSO) for evaluation of aberrometric corneal analysis pre- and while fi tting RGPCLs. Findings: Our study included fi ft een children were fi tting RGPCLs for 6 months under specifi c study wear regimen. Th eir age range was from 5-9 years with mean 7.2�±1.1 SD. Th ere was a signifi cant improvement in the best corrected visual acuity and keratometric astigmatism while wearing RGPLCs (P=0.001). Th ere was also a signifi cant improvement in corneal aberrations as; HOAs (P=0.008), LOAs, RMS & PSF (P=0.001). Conclusion & Signifi cance: Th e optical performance of RGP contact lens has been demonstrated to be an eff ective tool of visual rehabilitation in children with traumatic corneal lacerations. Th e corneal topography was an objective tool for detecting the optical disorders other than subjective tests of visual acuity assessment.
