Scleral contact lens management of bilateral exposure and neurotrophic keratopathy

Contact Lens and Anterior Eye, 2012
We report an interesting case of therapeutic scleral lens management of bilateral exposure and neurotrophic keratopathy resulting from bilateral cranial nerve (CN) palsies including V, VI and VII, which caused lagophthalmos and anaesthetic corneas.

Development of the gas‐permeable impression‐moulded scleral contact lens

Acta Ophthalmologica, 1989
Abstract Although superceded by corneal hard and soft contact lenses for the correction of simple refractive error, the scleral lens still has numerous medical applications in modern ophthamological practice. However, a major problem with scleral lenses has been the limited wearing time due to corneal occlusion and consequent hypoxia.

Progression From Soft Lens to Piggyback Soft-Scleral Contact Lens System to Facilitate Scleral Lens Use in a Pediatric Patient

Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice, 2021
Abstract: Traumatic injury in the pediatric population often results in significant refractive errors that if left untreated can lead to amblyopia. Scleral contact lenses (ScCLs) have recently gained popularity in this population for efficacy in treatment of significant refractive errors, including irregularity astigmatism and corneal ...

A Flush Fitting Optical Scleral Contact Lens

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1966
A method is described for making a flush-fitting scleral lens with a central 6 mm optical zone. The essence of the method involves the replacing of the central 6 mm of the corneal portion of the mold of the eye by an appropriate spherical optical surface.

Scleral Contact Lens Electrodes for Electroretinography in Domesticated Animals

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1976
SUMMARY Contact lens electrodes are necessary to produce a high quality electroretinogram. Comparison of the electroretinogram recorded with the contact lens electrode and a needle electrode showed a great difference. Contact lens electrodes showed a 50 percent or greater amplitude and less artifacts.
