The prevalence of keratoconus is 1/2000 in the general population and is high in adolescents. Keratoconus is a progressive disease, which has a great impact on patients' quality of life and mental health. It can be managed by surgical and non-surgical means, rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens as its main non-surgical method is widely used in clinic. The efficacy of wearing RGP contact lens has been confirmed to some extent, but some studies have found that wearing RGP contact lens has adverse effects, which may promote disease progression. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of RGP contact lens in controlling keratoconus were reviewed to provide more suggestions and references for the clinical application of RGP contact lens.
圆锥角膜在普通人群中的患病率为1/2000，在青少年中患病率较高。圆锥角膜是一种进行性疾病，对患者的生活质量和心理健康有很大影响。它可以通过手术和非手术方法进行治疗，硬性透气性（RGP）隐形眼镜作为主要的非手术方法在临床上被广泛应用。佩戴RGP隐形眼镜的疗效在一定程度上已得到证实，但一些研究发现，佩戴RGP隐形眼镜有不良影响，可能会促进疾病进展。本文综述了RGP隐形眼镜在控制圆锥角膜方面的优缺点，为RGP隐形眼镜的临床应用提供更多建议和参考。
