This observational study aims to collect real-world wavefront aberrometry and corneal/scleral topography data from individuals with keratoconus and other corneal ectatic disorders. This data will be used to develop and refine a methodology for designing custom-fitted scleral contact lenses with embedded active light management technology. The study will focus on characterizing the optical imperfections (aberrations) and corneal/scleral shape variations in this population to optimize lens design for improved vision and comfort.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age ≥ 18y
* Provide written Informed Consent
* Diagnosed with keratoconus and/or any other type of ectatic corneal disorder
* Cornea considered to be clinically stable at the discretion of the investigator (e.g. no recent cross linking performed, no current corneal sutures, no corneal sutures recently removed).
* Willing to remove current contact lenses for a minimum of 48 hours prior to performing the pentacam AXL Wave scan, if applicable.
Note: In case only 1 eye is diagnosed with keratoconus, both eyes will be scanned, as long as none of the exclusion criteria apply to that eye
Exclusion Criteria:
* Known active disease-related ocular surface problem (i.e. microbial keratitis)
* History of ocular pathologies that might lead to incomplete/incorrect eye surface scan AND wavefront aberrometry, at the discretion of the investigator
* Use of fluorescein in the eye, within 12 hours prior to the pentacam AXL Wave scan is performed
* Contact lens refitting within one month prior to the pentacam AXL Wave scan, as this can significantly impact the corneal or scleral surface.
* Currently wearing hybrid contact lenses
* Having worn contact lenses within 48 hours prior to performing the pentacam AXL Wave scan. Note: this criteria might not be applicable yet at the time of signing ICF, but needs to be confirmed prior to performing the Pentacam AXL Wave Scan
Note: In case any of the above exclusion criteria are met in 1 eye, but not in the other, it's sufficien…
