Journal of Clinical Medicine Webinar | State-of-the-Art Management of Eye Diseases with Scleral Lenses
Scleral lenses have become a popular treatment modality, most commonly for irregular astigmatism but also for ocular surface disease. These lenses allow patients to improve their vision while often delaying the need for corneal transplants for diseases such as keratoconus. Scleral lenses also function to protect the cornea and conjunctiva in patients with ocular surface disease, thus allowing patients to regain eye comfort and maintain daily activities.
Scleral lenses are more readily available to providers with a variety of fitting sets and designs available. However, as with any medical device, scleral lenses need to be fit properly to function well and maintain the health of the ocular surface. A poorly fit lens and unrecognized or untreated ocular disease could lead to visual complications.
Join scleral lens experts to learn which patients benefit most from scleral lenses. Learn how the lens interacts with the ocular surface, what ocular complications may be common in lens wear, and the potential scleral lenses may have in the future to further refine vision.
